Jen's Eye
Dusky Purple
Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 16 May 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
An odd flowering plant in the woods...I love the random focus and dusky feel to the image.

Beautiful color. This looks like a type of phlox, which I see on the sides of many roadways here in PA.

Hey Jen, great shot there, random focus rocks, isnt it ?? I love doing that in my shots at times, as long as all doesnt get out of focus. ;-)

@Rahul: It was hard, I was losing light and didn't want to use the flash...I took like three shots and this was the best one. Just enough focus and blur to make it interesting ; )
Amy from Canada
You are so right... the random focus works great!

@DTW: Russ said they may be phllox...I looked them up and they very well could be, but I am not completely sure.
Mike Cash from Kiryu, Japan
Beautiful colors! Taking a camera along certainly makes a walk different from one without, doesn't it? Just make sure you don't jog or walk your dog when you go to the woods. (It's always the joggers and dog walkers who discover murder victims).
