Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Voila viola!
They look like artificial blooms!
An interesting initial impact. Harmonious colors. Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Excellent lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...

Thanks Dick, not artificial they kept nodding heads in the breeze so was pleased to get reasonable focus. Thanks for your lovely comments, hope you are keeping well I haven't had much time on site recently so trying to catch up on my reviewing. :) Mary

You and FAR Member Susan are on the same wave length, she submitted Viola photos too. Very pretty, all well framed and focused to show the colorful and delicate looking details.

Long and Lean Viola Machine!!! I really like your upward presentation and the nicely tilted angles of the blooms. Great colors with fantastic light for spot on exposure. The focus is solid with very good clarity and sharpness over your blooms. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful picture of this pair of Violas set in three dimensions against the softly blurred natural background. The upper one a little shy to show it's "face" full one. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Comment from lulube
I love the viola's, they are so dainty. here in Vancouver, the all colored purple/blue ones are perennial for a couple of years but re-seed from there on, and they have such a sweet scent. great color in these 2 faces. Love the blurred out background, good framing and focus.
