Good Morning

Very nice image. Petals are sharp and clear with details delicately defined. The center red bloom is very nice and sets up the story of this total bloom very well.

The background pieces support one another and present the enter bloom nicely.

Good colors. Sharp clear details combine for a beautiful story.

This is very nice! Lighting is good and works well for this image. Focus is lovely and sharp and the depth of field is very nice, I like that the water droplets on the leaves are still in focus. Good composition too. :)

A beautiful picture of this star shaped soft Purple Clematis bloom, with it's crimson stamens & dark green foliage. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with razor harp focus.

Beautiful photo, excellent focus and detail, showing off each veined petal in depth with the center crown exploding in color, ultra iridescent violet seems to glow against the dark background, nice one, thanks for sharing.

Comment from Snopaw
This is a lovely shot of this purple clematis. For me, however the appearance is too centered and therefore takes away for the interest of this lovely flower. Two choices could be make with this flower. One would be a tighter overall crop, therefore making it a full framed image. The other would have been to crop it off on the left side and leave more of the greeners showing for just a bit of an offset, to give our eye the need to move around the image.

Best of luck in the contest :)

This really is lovely. Is it a Morning Glory or a Clematis? All points of photography are well achieved and composed into a very pleasing experience for your viewer. Good luck!

A well presented image of this flower the angle is nice as well as the colours. The DOF and sharpness give god clear detail across the frame. The black background works very well with just the few leaves in shot. I do find the one drop of water on the flower distracting although the leaves have water on them is not a problem.

This is a very good clear image of this Clematis. The dark background with just a hint of the surrounding foliage sets it off nicely. The detail is well defined and overall it is a very pleasing capture. Many thanks
