Magical Structure

Comment from Len Shood


That is certainly a strange looking flower and I don't think I've ever seen one before. It's certainly nice and sharp even before you consider it was hand held, so, kudos for that alone.
Lovely colours and nicely composed in the frame. Well done.

Compact framing.
Harmonious colors.
Pin sharp focusing.
Subtle lighting...
Fine features & smooth textures.

Nice verdant backdrop.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Don't call it close up: it is a true macro and a wonderful one; outstanding sharp focus with amazing clear details of the pistil and stamens ; nice natural colors with perfect lighting;

WOW this is a strong first impression of this flower - your super macro really shows this heart of the bloom in very perfection - every single tiny part looks like giant, is clear and sharp and your perspective creates the impression if the seeds are forming a dancing creature
excellent view point and bird view position - your picture has perfect contrast and lighting , is well framed in relation to your purpose and is for sure a good candidate for the flower contest - well seen , well done and all the best for the contest

You are quite right, the structure of these blooms is magical. I especially like the Close and personal approach showing so well the center of the flower, and also how lovely the light is falling on it.

The Focus is spot on and Sharp showing really Clear and well defined details, and the exposure is Perfect.

The square format you have cropped the photo into Works so well, and the flower has got a very good placement within the frame. A truly lovely and well taken photo Mike, and With an excellent DOF. I wish you Luck With the contest.

A really nice capture of this beautiful passion flower, I especially like the close up which shows all the different elements of this flower, pin sharp focus and clarity, beautiful natural but saturated colours. Well framed and presented. Good luck in the contest. Jo
