Blue Flower, by Orlando J Emmanuelli

On a holiday outing i found myself waiting for some friends to finish some shopping at a roadside store in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. What does a photographer do when he finds himself with idle time? Well, you start taking pictures. I happened to have my macro lens at hand, which i favor and went about looking for little interesting details. I cant say i am a flower photographer, however i find myself drawn to them all the time due to their intricate details and colors. This particular flower pulled me over and showed me some beautiful and delicate details and tones. The picture was taken with natural light, which at the time was beautifully diffused as the sky was a bit overcast.
