MY my Annie- should have entered it in the Flowers contest. Definitely deserves to be an All Time Best. Great color, lighting and initial impact. Love the angle of the shot. Wonderful composition, framing, focus an dof. Great post processing. BTW - thanks for the info on the Sickle Flower. Chuck

Hey there - have you been away? I had a feeling that King of Tropical Foliage was yours also and now I know for sure. Have a great weekend.

This is a great close up. I love the way you got the white and yellow to focus with the purple petals a little blurred. Great job. Thanks for sharing

A beautiful display of this very beautiful flower. The clarity and framing are excellent as so are the added effects and filters. A favorite! -Sherry

I love Columbines so beautiful. Focused and the colors are natural. I like the zoom effect as it adds gives me a sense of the flower falling. Very pretty.

You have a gift of making your flower captures elegant and oh so majestic.
I love the royal colors here of White, purple and yellow like gold. The gorgeous background you created is as if the Flower is peeking out of heaven looking down.
Outstanding camera techs all around. Focus, white balance and clarity are spot on here.
A new favorite of mine Cara.
Stunning,elegant,graceful and oh so loverly just like YOU!
BRAVO!

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Who ever could avoid to give you a 6 for this presentation - guess nobody who has one left

This is a just so fragile, elegant, attractive, beautiful, soft - standing out in all pastel hues
the way you created the background is more than awesome - the colors are melting so well into each other, seeming a painting
your flower is clear and sharp in very details, excellent DOF, super soft contrast and exposure - I love the soft light enhancing the image

a really excellent creation Annie

I know what you are saying. My Wife plants Columbines in one area and they show up the next year in other areas. They are some good flowers to photograph. Just the right amount of skill to take the right photo. This on is excellent. A six
