Alstromeria World, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

I photographed this handsome bouquet of Peruvian Lilies—Alstromeria—straight down with a fisheye lens with the idea of creating a round world effect using the flowers.

Fisheye close-ups of flowers are surprisingly difficult to pull-off from a technical perspective. Here are a couple of other shots that I think work: Lensbaby Fisheye and Passiflora. Here’s another cool shot of Alstromeria—they are beautiful flowers indeed!
