The Shredder

I caught this in a neighbors yard when I came home from shooting yesterday morning. The flowers had really intrigued me. So instead of just going home and crashing after a morning shoot, I decided to roam the garden in the front of his house and do some extra shooting.

I am very pleased with the way this turned out.  The maroons and whites really give this a great contrast. I toyed with the idea of getting rid of the greens in the very middle but in the end I decided to keep it.  Once I print this I will then decide whether to get rid of the green.
