Flower Photo Competition 5 2014 : Entry Number 79

Judges Comment

This unusual capture of a flower we like for different reasons. It is abstract, almost not recognisable as a flower, and it has a psychedelic feel to it. This comes partially because of its blurriness and no focal point at all.

Photographers Comment

I am very pleased to see my photograph receive a mark of excellence. Thank you very much for this award. My name is Alexandre Machado, born in Rio de Janeiro, but living in Copenhagen. I am a hobby photographer who likes to experiment and challenge my skills in search of a different image or expression. This image is a result a my blur experiments with flowers. Here a dried Allium flower, photographed very closely with a macro lens. It was taken with my Nikon D3X and my 28 years old lens Nikkor AF 55 2,8.
