Indian Paintbrush

This time of year brings great selections of Indian Paintbrush right along the highways. The full moon just added the perfect touch.

I like it a lot :)

This is lovely but perhaps if you had one of the flowers in focus it would have been even better.

I agree with Pauline having at least one flower especially the one from the the end is crucial. I do however like the fact that the moon is not central.

Interesting name. Did native Americans actually use them for painting their face and body before war or ceremonies?

I disagree with the comments about focus–your shallow DOF is right on, and I don’t have any problems with the foreground being out of focus. In fact, it’s one of my favorite effects when shooting a big patch of flowers! Was the moon added as a double exposure in camera or in post?

It was added in post. I had focused on the moon then took the shot focused on the flowers. I had left the front flowers out of focus for effect. I liked this approach better for mood.
