Creative Photography Contest
For my first entry in "Creative Photography", I have chosen this Chinese Lantern flower. I just love the color and other-worldly quality of this photograph. I photographed it in a homemade light tent in full sunlight, which enhances the saturation and back lights beautifully while keeping the sunlight soft and diffuse.

Absolutely stunning. Love the idea of the homemade light tent. Might have to give that a try someday. Good luck, yours is the best I've seen so far!!!
I LOVE this photo, several different textures and depth of color within the flower. Nicely done! :-)

It's an impressive flower!. I'm sure there's a pixie somewhere who would love to wear it to the ball. :)
(Thanks for coming by for the Comment-Bomb - it made my day)

I have added your blog to new listings :)
Wow, you captured that beautifully. Now that I'm looking about in your blog, I see you do awesome work. I should come by more often.. :)
dropping by from EC. i like the pink and yellow shades of the flower :)
This is a beautiful photo. I love the veins showing through the petals.
Well done.
very beautiful flower...
My Creative in here Thanks
That's simply amazing.
That's truly a magnificent shot.
Thanks for the visit!
How beautiful! I love all of the detail.
It is beautiful, but also the caption could read, "Take me to your leader" :D
Love how I can see every vein.

Thats a cool shot. The detail and all. However, my untrained eye describe that the lighting is a bit too flat. Would love some shadows.
Anyway, great effort on the DIY light tent!
Jenz,
Shadows would not have been appropriate in this shot. The lighting achieved with the light tent is exactly the effect I was after, and is perfect to my well trained eye. Thanks for commenting on the detail, I love that element of this shot too.
Perfect in every way!
A very beautiful photo.
Good luck - and happy 4th
stunning!
I'm going to research homemade light tent - the light in this shot is perfection.
I sense a winner :)
You've captured an amazing level of detail in that picture.

BEAUTIFUL lighting, DOF, EVERYTHING!!! Congrats, that is a wonderful shot!!!
Oh I've never seen a flower like that but it's beautiful!
and, I searched and searched for the coloured copy of the black and white tiger lily I posted, and I cannot seem to find it. :( I was hoping to show you it, since you had mentioned it. Very sorry on that one.
Absolutely stunning! Bless you on the contest!

Excellent!
Hi Jennifer,
This is a stunning macro shot.
I think this is the best Sky Watch Friday yet. The things I have seen are very encouraging and the photography is spot on.
I really admire your photography choices and your critical eye for composition, lighting and texture.
