Like the highway sign in Steve Martin’s movie about Los Angeles that in no uncertain terms tells Steve to “kiss her, you fool,” this tiny flower sticks out a marquee begging for a kiss.
Taken with a macro lens, extension tubes, and a close-up +4 diopter filter, the halo effect is created by the low depth-of-field and focus on the extended invitation rather than on the flower.
