This is beautiful Deb! Every single part of it. The clarity of the stamen, the simplicity of colors staged by the black background is pure class! A Framer!!!

    The season is racing to an end Becky....lol...literally! Had to get some in this season. Missed the early and mid-season shots but got quite a few of my late season flowers.

Comment from RonitaBarwell


A beautiful picture. I like the sharpness of the details in the foreground and the depth of field. The colours are lovely. I really like this one.

Comment from supergold


you obviously have a collection of very rare and unusual flowers;
very pretty tiny purple flower and buds;
very sharp focus;
and most interesting, one of the few to give useful notes;

    Oh you are a doll sg. I've had people tell me "...too many notes. I stop reading after one sentence" I, for one, like to know a little something about what it is I'm looking at so I really do appreciate your comment. And I do have many unusual flowers....but mixed in w/ some very common ones...like COSMOS which I've posted frequently.....I love them all. lol...I'm a sucker for pretty flowers....and for you sg! Thank you again.

    You are very welcome Deborah! That's one of my very favorites of yours... Outstanding how you captured main flower and slightly blurred the buds!
Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


You amaze me with your flower shots - they all get such a mystic enhanced impression with your perfect macro settings

excellent focus, contrast and lighting, a well framed and well composed picture - I specially love your angle and the way you play with the different states of opening from bud until fill bloom all inside a small square - well seen, well done Deborah

    Oh do I appreciate that Regina. I worked for days on this trying to get all the different stages of blooming into a single photo so thank you soooo much for recognizing that! And, of course, for the rest of that wonderful review and the extra sparkle you shared with it. Thank you so very much.

    you are most welcome - you are doing exactly what I am doing with my photographs, a putty that my camera is broken, I am sure would love my shots too
Comment from kenolia


Wow! this picture really pops!, the colours are beautiful, and the composition is spot on, I love the detail shown of this Lavender species and how the petals emerge from the dark soft focused background.
best wishes
KEN.

Lovely colors and the contrasting clarity of the center flowers with the blurred back ground almost makes the photo look 3D. Awesome photo, makes me want to see what aroma the flower puts out.

    Thank you HR. I do appreciate your time checking out my post. I see you are new here and wonder if you've familiarized yourself w/ the rating system?? If you go to the header under 'Community' and down to 'Q&A' you'll find a section that explains it very well. Typically when reviewing a piece the reviewer explains why they deduct points. Just a suggestion if you plan on reviewing further.

Comment from iPhone7


Definitely one of the better photos you have posted Deb.. The focus and depth of field are perfect and so well accent the main flower. The subtle colors are just so well rendered that the entire composition captures the eye and imagination. A cyber six+ Keep this up and I will be forced to buy a real camera. Very well done Deborah ~ Steve

    ...LOL...moved onto my mental 'Top-10' list Steve when I took it about a week ago. As for buying a camera....lol...well, I do not own a cell phone camera....not even a cell phone so we're even I'd say. I always appreciate you checking out my posts. Thank you so very much.
