Denver's Botanic Gardens Revealed

Denver's Botanic Gardens was free on Sunday and I managed to get some images in before they closed (why don't they stay open after 5pm in the summertime?? Oy, boggles the mind).

I love shooting giant plants because they have so many angles and details to them. The challenge is to find the beauty in whole canopies of giant leaves. There are certain angles that are truly beautiful. I think I found some of them!

Photographers: these images are minimally Photoshopped. Some of these plants/flowers are so rich in their colors, there's very little need for any saturation. I was however, in a blurry edges mood this round, so you'll see some of that. Just love that effect. More later!
