Mandarin in the daisies in a bright summers afternoon.

The second colour of the rainbow is ORANGE. Its the "toned down version" of the colour red. Its still a vivid colour and its my favourite colour. The patterns of the water are captured by photographing the mandarin at extremely high shutter speeds. This high shutter speed gives the "mosaic [...]

Yellow is the third colour of the rainbow. It is an easy colour on the eye - its a warm colour. Yellow does remind us of the sun and of late autumn afternoons like the day of this photo. Once again a perfect background to a very colourful mandarin. sku 20003
