Blue Columbine II

Repost of previously posted photograph. Additional dark background

added around perimeter.

It caught my eye and Is eye catching.

Wow! Great macro of this flower, but it almost looks like somesort of sea creature!

the columbine is not an easy flower to capture and present but you have done it.

Well, you know I like black backgrounds with flowers, so this one works for me! The white is not blown out at all and contrasts nicely with the blue-purple.

Beautiful columbine, such a delicate and beautiful flower! My eye looks for a hint of a stem, but its just floating there... A peaceful image... Great work!

first time I see this kind of flower, you were able to rend all its beauty! Congrats!

Very nice capture Walt. Excellent detail and depth. Nicely composed as well. My only suggestion would be to make the blue accent a bit thinner. I like the color but the size sort of draws my attention away from the flower just a little. My web designer keeps telling me the borders are to accent, not compete. He has to keep telling me that, so it seems! Just a thought. Anyway, very nice capture once again. Aloha.

Thanks Vince, I agree; I don't know why I went with the thicker color border this time. I toned it down a bit and re-upped the photograph. Regards.

Il like this photo, the difference between the flower and the background allow emphasize the color, great.

 

It seems as a sg picture

You know Walt, I was wondering what lens you used with that nice 6x7 outfit that caught this so nice and sharp as well as with the great depth for such a close-up. And surprise, it's a digital outfit. It seems that the best macro/closeup images nowadays are almost always digital. Bummer!

Long DOF for a macro--and it works.

 

I love the colors on the stems.

Lovely shot. Very nice detail and composition and exposure.

because I have been gone a bit and because this is a columbine I will tell a little story.

 

Once I was given this little bit of a plant by a woman. I didnt think too much of it as it just wasnt much to look at, just some green leaves and stems. Oh this is nice I thought, now why would she give me this awful thing I would think to myself. After unsuccessfully trying to kill it, I was informed, by another friend, to relocate it. When I finally did remove it from my kitchen sil and over to a nice spot in the garden this crap plant as I thought produced the prettiest white and peach flowers for me. Later I added some more crap plants which made these light blue/purple creatures for me. and in the end I was grateful and appreciative of what the first friend had done by giving me such an awful plant as a gift.

 

The End.

 

Thanks for bringing up a little bit of memory.

Oh, how elegant and delicate!

All your flowers are so UNIQUE, Walter.

All the best
