Nice bright red Ron. I tried shooting a few Ocotillo last time I was out at Joshua Tree, but the blooms were so high up on the plant that all I had for back ground was boring clear sky – I like this much better. The dark shadow really makes the red pop.
I know exactly what you are talking about. I photographed this while waiting for the Gila Woodpecker, so I was using a 600 with 2x converter, that was about the only way I could bet a decent background.
whoa, that is a monstrous lens Ron. Almost as eye catching as that guy you photographed pushing the shopping cart camera around. i like how clean the background is.
Yeah, it is a monster. It is great for birds and bears – I usually don’t use it for flowers, but sometimes I do. It makes controlling your background much easier!
Thanks,
Ron

I don’t know anything about photography, but I know a beautiful photo when I see one. And that is a beautiful photo!
