Amongst the Stars
by Karen Chappell
I saw this dying star flower on a bed of moss. I liked how well it stood out and how the out of focus moss in the background looked like stars.
Equipment: Canon EOS Digital Rebel, 100mm macro lens

    Paint your palette green and gray,
    Look out on an autumn’s day,
    With eyes that know the lightness in my soul.

    I don’t like dieing star flower… but I love the moss that looks like stars… Good shot any way… and its a second shot I’ve been expecting some real stars based on the name. People keep tricking me.. =D

  18. Fernando Alves Says:

    Great image, I like.

  19. Anurag Says:

    The moss looks like ice crystals to me. Great photo, but for me the slight off centering of the flower is not very apealing. There is too much negative space on the upper right side. Either you should have framed it in the center or at the third. Though thats only my view.

  20. Bev Jarvis Says:

    Fabulous photo…………breathtaking.

    You give us all eyes to see the close up, wonder and beauty of nature.

    Cheers

    Bev
