This is so lovely. The colors of this flower are rich and pretty with such a lovely sharpness of detail from the petals and the center of the flower. I like the center placement because of the shape of the petals with the pointy tips that fill the edges of the frame nicely.

This is a very beautiful Flower and the Purple is WOW. I like that this flower is so in focus with the back petals with such a soft blur and the greenery seems fairly clear. Nicely framed.

Wow! A beautiful capture of the purple Clematis Flower. Your central composition is engaging. Perfectly framed and well composed shot. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus revealing excellent details on the petal and stamen of this gorgeous flower. Your play with light and shadows is perfect as well. Your diffused background soft yet bright compliments your work beautifully. I wish I had a six star for you! Love this! Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

This Clematis flower is so beautiful, and you could not have pictured it better. It is lovely the way the light is falling on it, and because of the nicely softened background, it is sanding out in an excellent way.

Your focus is spot on and sharp showing such clear and well defined details both in the petals and the center of the flower, and the exposure is perfect. I also appreciate the crisp and clear colors.

The square format you have cropped the photo into works so well, and so does the centered position of the flower within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo Barbara, and with an excellent DOF.

Oh what a nice one Barbara. I love the flowers of the Clematis especially the purple ones.

This is a well rendered photo with excellent colors, sharp focus and great framing. I think this one has everything going for it Barbara. I love the textures and sheen on those petals.

I have noticed that your photography skills are improving with each new posting. Keep up the Great work Barbara ~ Steve
