I love this snap for the very reason that it protrays simplicity so well. What was an ordinary snap to click, ended up surprisingly well. I was playing around with this picture when i rotated it upside down accidently. To my surprise it was very difficult to separate the real image from the reflection. Although, with a second look you would realise that the actual flower is much brighter, the confluence of the sunlight on the still green water protrays a wonderful mirage like feeling. I also like the way the gentle morning rays of the sun fade out diagonally across the photo..almost as if the sun was shining its spotlight on this very beautiful flower.

This set is from my very first shoot last month. This was taken as a result of unsurmountable and unrelenting peer pressure :) ... jokes apart, most of these pics were taken at a florist's shop on CMH Road, Bangalore. The florist's watering of the flowers gave an added look of freshness. I set the camera on a vivid setting so I could get good saturation. Some of the focussing could have been better. It will improve next time!

The powers of an S2

This is a picture of an aster that i saw in a florist's shop. The water droplets are thanks to the florist who sprays his flowers with water every now and then to keep them from wilting in the sveltering heat. I really like the level of detail in this piture. Although the focussing could have been a lot better, i like the composition and the vividness . The contrast gives the picture an almost scary and evil look! :)
