Quite an amazing flower!Such a perfect shape with everything designed so well and so symetric.As you said..nature at its simplist but so beautiful.Your choice of centering it was a good one.Lovely detail and the DOF important because of the green foilage.Well done and TFS.

Your talent and knack for identifying and then shooting amazing shapes in nature verges on uncanny.
This is a wonderful octagonal shape of a pretty flower which you have captured so deftly here.

Hi José,
this document of nature is outstanding in its reduction and straightness. Very well taken from a very well decided point of view, with excellent details and perfect contrast. A superb demonstration of the laws of growth in nature that are the basics of human feelings called harmony and aethetical pleasure. Great contribution with a very strong impact.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Hello,
I know the TN effect very well :-) I had no idea how many different spiders and insects can be found in my neighbourhood. What is a bit scary today I know polish, english and even latin names of creatures which I didn't even notice a year before.

The picture is great. Love the POV and framing, colours and details here.
VERY WELL DONE!

It has very nice symmetry. You did well to see this. And even better to capture it with this DOF. It seems as if there are a slight green cast in the photo. I did a WS to try and correct it. Please let me know what you think.

wow - I remeber to other one with asimilar title - it was excellent and this one is too. the detail is so clear and the colours so good, it is sharp and you have an excellent DOF to throw the BG OOF.... I might have been tempted just to have moved some of the distrcting undergrowth though....

TFS & PT's...

Hello Jose,
Good point of view makes this an interesting capture!
Macro work is well done, the background is blurred out to enhance the subject, which has great details and delicate colours...
Good composition with nice lines!

Hola Jose,
Very beautiful flower and you have captured it with all its glory. Very impressive sharpness and lovely soft colours. Excellent DOF isolates it from the darkish BG and a well chosen top POV to portray it. Very attractive composition. Kudos.
