“Colors of Life”
© Copyright Robert Romero
I like this photo that Robert Romero shot entitled “Colors of Life“, shown above. I like the flower petals, their shape, their color, and even how the buds are positioned in the background. The black background is a great effect too. Robert explains in the description of the photo that to get this effect, he put a large moving box over the flower, with some black cloth on the back of the box, and lit the flower with a flashlight from the side through a hole. The result is pretty cool, and eliminates the distracting backgrounds that usually accompany flower photos. Robert likes the effect, and I do too.
Robert Romero won the Photobird Award for the Photobird Photo Contest for February 2008 with his photo “Just Peachy“. You can see more of Robert’s photos at photobird.com/theshootest.
