Hi Nik, I love flowers in early bloom. I thought maybe this was a lavender bud, but I took a pic of one years ago and it looked like a cluster of tiny purple berries in a cone shape. This ma be hibiscus? Do you know? It's very pretty. I love this angle and the various shades of green muted in the background. The subject of you picture is the first thing my eyes were drawn to. Shading, contrast and focus is very detailed. Nice job.

    Sorry, I do not know the name, but my wife feels it might be a "Lord's and Ladies". Your very fine and detailed review is much appreciated!

What a beauty It makes me long for summer. Warmer days and sweet smelling flowers. A nice contest entry.
I like the lavender flower against the green hued back ground.
A lovely image. Thank you for warming me up from the cold.
Best of luck in the contest.

This is a real pretty photograph! Most would not see how pretty a flower is unless they got real close like this. You have to stop and smell the roses! I think this should do well in this contest. Good luck!

This is a wonderful look at this lovely little flower! It stands out so well against the greenery which is out of focus enough to make a beautiful soft background.

A very clear photo of this intriguing, delicate, corn-cob-shaped lavender bloom among great luscious lemon-green leaves! A very pleasing nature shot! Thanks for sharing! Daphne Oberon

Nice contrast between small florets and broad leaves!

Gorgeous illumination showing great details, features and fine textures!

Soft highlights and faint shadows.

Good off centered framing.

Thanks!

I love the contrast. The focus is unique. I like the detail in the leaf on the left as opposed to the blur in the background. The flower is small indeed. I like the way your cropped the flower and leaf on the left and cropped closer on the right. Excellent work.

This is a beautiful photo. There are two aspects of the flower that stand out. First the placement to the right of the frame and the difference in colour to the background. The centre of interest is obvious. Also the lighting perfect.

A good entry into the Flower Photography. A beautiful capture of the purple flower surround with the tall lush green leaves. Very well photographed with beautiful natural light, sharp focus, and good details and clarity in your image. Your play with light and shadows is perfect as well. A good exposure with beautiful natural colors. Best wishes in the contest. Nice work and thanks for sharing!

It is always nice to see alternate approaches. This is an interesting shot of the tiny flowers amidst large leaves! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!
