Purple Phase, by Arvind Bhatt

Purple flowers in the flower show at Lalbagh, Bangalore, India was a treat to watch. It made a good subject where I could use the DOF pretty effectively. The spot metering added to the effect. The bi-annual flower show attracts hundreds of people from the city, and umpteen varieties of flowers displayed in exquisite revelry.
