Originally posted by angkymac I've been gradually learning something about color from the flower pics you folks post.
In this one, I see yellow, but I'm seeing more color than just the yellow.
The green tint in the shadow areas at the base of the petals makes the bright splash of yellow at the top curves of the petals seem even brighter yellow.
The slight reds in the curved over parts of the petals (seen especially at the top three), and the rust red in the pollen, does something to the bright yellow as well--but I'm not yet sure of how it works.
Anyway, those color variations make for a very striking flower image.
Angky.
I greatly appreciate your glowing review and accurate and interesting description. Muchas Gracias, Senor.
