 Across the Aisle

Calla Lily - Zantedeschia elliottiana

Photographed at the wedding of a friend in Winston-Salem, NC.

Experimenting with my latest lens -- the 70-200mm 2.8 VR. I love the sharp focus on the flowers in this shot. Did a little post processing to try to hide the reflective/halo around the white shirt, which seemed to pick up a lot of the surrounding blue pews. Not sure how this will hold up with some of the more creative point-of-view submissions I'm sure it will be up against, but I hope it might break me into the top 50% for once...

Shot handheld, 70-200mm 2.8 lens at 135mm.

my focus falls to the shirt. I assume I am supposed to be drawn the flower since it looks like it is the subject of the picture. I would have done the lighting different.

Seems a bit busy. Not a standard point of view though.

Very pretty. The shirt is a great touch.
