HOLY Lavender Mist Doc!
This is SPECTACULAR!
One of your BEST flower shots!
The focus is sharp, DOF soft and dreamy, exposure perfect and white balance is controlled on all colors.
I know how tiny these flowers are so I am VERY impressed with your camera techs!
You did a superb job and I LOVE it!
Well Done Doc!! :)

I am very proud of this photo Sange. I really wanted to show the different stages of this flower so I photographed it just about every day for a week....everything went exactly right on this particular day. I really enjoyed your enthusiastic review so thank you soooo much for that....for the extra sparkle you gave it and for 'helping it along'.....lol...I appreciate all three.

Wall hanging worthy Doc!
I LOVE it! ;)

I agree....on metallic paper....would look most excellent on my wall....and I could still see it when it's buried under four feet of snow!

I will send you a few sheets of Metallic Kodak paper in your next package. ;)

What a beautiful find. This is truly a magnificent shot of this flower. Does it really look this great in real life? I have never seen such a wonderful array. I especially like the middle spray. You really got this one up close and personal. Kudos.

Oh without a doubt mama-m. I always show my flowers just as they look.....au natural. Now, you have to be close to see these...from a distance it looks like a lavender mist.....hence, the common name. I particularly liked the middle blossom too but was happy to be able to show them in different stages of flowering.....all in the same photo. I do appreciate your time checking this one out. Thanks so much.

I can see why you have a ribbon. Love the deep and light purples; good focus on the plant itself. I like the green popping out in the front, nice angle; This is a very cheerful piece to me. Love it! Take care.

Comment from avmurray
I think this must be one of your best flower shots Deb. This flower is truly beautiful and the purple colors are stunning. I also like the buds and the faded flowers in the background because it fits so well the title you have given this photo. The two flowers up front are indeed standing out in an excellent way.
Your focus on them is also nice and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen both in the petals and the stamens. It is nothing wrong with the exposure either.
The cropping is perfect and the flowers have got a very good placement within the frame. Indeed a beautiful and well taken flower photo, and with an excellent DOF. Worth 6 stars, but of course I have run out.

One of my favorite flowers av.....and this recent photo is now on my list of Top 10's too. I was really pleased w/ how well it showed both the flower and the sort of 'mist' they make in a group. I do appreciate your time checking it out and especially appreciate the marvelous review you've written for my photo. Thank you so very much. Do you grow THALICTRUM??? I'm thinking of adding another one next season.

You are more than welcome Deb. No, I don't grow these, and as a matter of fact this is the first time I have even seen them. They are truly beautiful so I have to check out if it is possible to get hold of them here in Norway.

I purchased mine as 'starters' but if you can't find them there let me know b/c I know I could get you seeds. They come in white too but it is a short variety and the ones I grow are so beautiful b/c the flowers only grow near the tops of the 7' stems ....it's like a poof of purple just floating in air.

One word - wow! Absolutely gorgeous, your attention to detail is awesome, wonderful DOF and nice composition here. You give us views not ordinarily seen and I applaud you for your vision. Nice tie in for your caption as well. Love the sharp focus and the softness behind the blossom. Nice touch with the border too. I love this Deborah! Thanks for sharing your world. Sharon/Bea226

As much as I like this flower from a distance Sharon, it most definitely has to be seen up close to appreciate these gorgeous little flowers. One of my favorites for sure. I really appreciate your wonderful review of it and my photo....as well as the extra star you shared w/ it. Thank you so very much.

I share that opinion, and sometimes the prettiest are the tiniest. It's really lovely. Take care and stay awesome, Deborah
Comment from Sean T Phelan
Yes,Deb!
'Lavender Mist' works perfectly well as this plant's common name!
And your photographic presentation of it's tiny lavender colored blossom works as being an Outstanding picture too! : )
This one's another really 'Good Show',my friend!

It fits so perfectly Sean. From a distance that's EXACTLY what it looks like....a beautiful little cloud of Lavender Mist! So appreciate you checking it out and giving it such a great review. And the extra star isn't bad either....lol... Thanks so very much for all three.

Comment from memephotos
Oh my all time love of the colour purple ...
But thats not why I give you a 6 .
The clarity is wonderful .
I like the dark back ground .& the slight veiled view of the flowers in back ground .
But the two flowers front are simply stunning .
Focus & detail with good use of light and the beautiful purple staying natural just very talented work .
Framed to perfection .A enjoyable view very good photography .Thanks so much , really like it
