Congratulations on the win on this great shot of the Gooseneck. I find these are a subject hard to ignore. Lovely work for sure :)

    awww....thank you so much Cindy for going back and having a look at this one. A much maligned flower but I adore my little bed of them.....such an interesting flower. Anyway, do appreciate the very fine review you've given the little 'Goose'

Amazing shot and worthy winner Deb! Love the composition and color. Beautiful lighting. The curve of the plant is beautiful. Love the blur in the background! Well done!

This would look great in 3 D. Love all the little white buds and flowers. Good bright white color. Nice greenery backing it. This would look good on a hat LOL. Wonderful focus. Like the shapes of the buds and open ones. Great shot. Take care.

Comment from Neilnap773


an unusual structure but effective with its curvature leading from one side of the frame to the opposite almost promoting movement within your presentation as if the wind has caught the top and caused this gorgeous bloom to bow or curtsey with an air of royalty about it. A beautiful image enhanced by the well done diffused background.

Beautiful shot! You capture all the detail of your subject and the name is appropriate. It does resemble a goose head. I'd love to see when the buds open.

Comment from Barbara L.


This is a beautiful look at this plant! It's great that you were able to isolate this one lovely curving blossom. The out of focus greenery makes a great backdrop.

Your exposure is perfect and the details in the tiny flowers are excellent.

Your text was very interesting and informative.

Comment from mwmson


The angle of the shot certainly shows why it is a "goose in the garden" I can see the eye, the beak, and the neck against the soft blurred background. A well focused shot, beautiful flower and quite interesting!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Indeed, a tongue twisting nomenclature!
Aptly named with fantabulous graceful curve...
Verdant backdrop pops out the densely packed stellar florets!

Sharply focused.
Well lit.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...
