A superb capture of these weird looking stamens in close up.
The blue petals lend a visually soothing backdrop.
Compact framing. Sharply focused. Subtle illumination.
Good perspective & long depth of field...
Thanks for sharing...

Thanks, Dick for this complimentary review. You have always inspired me. BTW: We have the same perspective about mixed media.

You for sure know how to capture the inner beauty and soul of a flower, and this Clematis is just stunning. I really like a lot that you have cone in so close to show how the stamens are dancing around the center of the bloom, and the purple color is just beautiful.

It is absolutely nothing to point my finger at here. Your focus is pin sharp, spot on and showing really cleat and well defined details. Needless to say that also the exposure is perfect, and the colors so crisp and clear.

It is nice to see that you have entered this photo into a contest, and I think it is a really good entry as well. The way you have cropped the photo is just perfect and the placement of the flower with the center a bit off to the left makes for a well balanced composition.

This is just an excellent macro shot, and so beautiful. I wish you luck with the contest.
