An interesting initial impact. Harmonious colors. Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Excellent lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful Hydrangeas Mary! I've not seen them this color before. Nice photo and I like the pair together looking like twins. Planted two hydrangea bushes last year and it looks like both died over the winter. These are so pretty and thanks for sharing.

Comment from GaliaG
nice capture of the flowers, but they are a bit dark, while part of the background is overexpose

also, the focus is not so good and details are lost

thanks for sharing

Don't see what's wrong with two. They look like pals--posing for their picture? Well, it is good you were there. Very nice indeed. Cheers, James.

Thanks Lori, yes my mom used to have a lot of hydrangeas which I probably should have taken cuttings from when we sold the house. Never had seen this colour before though. Cheers Mary

A nicely cropped image with excellent detail in the blossoms. The colors are nice although I have never seen hydrangeas that color. I think the image would be better with less contrasty light and I often would hold up a jacket or some such to put this kind of subject in shade.

I remember these flowers as a child, Mom had several plants in the yard, different colors. They are so pretty and delicate. Good frame and focus and I see nothing wrong with showing two.

Beautiful color on initial impact. These hydrangeas have stunning shape and layers of color and light. The focus is solid with good detail. The exposure holds beautiful light. Thanks for sharing.
