Bright yellow Pumpkin vine flower
Whenever I look at this flower I'm reminded of the sun. The vibrant yellow color and the flower's ray-like petals are like an ancient Greek portrayal of the sun, with it's flares of yellow shining out from the center orb. However, this flower is really only a humble Pumpkin flower, shown here in front of the Pumpkin vine's leaves.
This is very much a "standard" type of shot from a compositional standpoint - the main object of the photo is centered in the frame, and the background is very plain so as not to attract attention. This photo is an example of how you don't really need any fancy framing or exposure modes and settings to take a good photo - this photo was taken in point-and-shoot mode!
This photo taken with the Sony DSC-H1 camera.

Nice photo. Its the best i found doing a quick search on pumpkin vines.
ReplyDeleteI suspected I had a pumpkin vine growing in my front yard, and my suspicions are confirmed thanks to your photo.
And, I am also enjoying your other photos as well.
I agree that green must be gods color.
