there are rather five, not two of the same kind; an excellent entry Brian into the "Flower Photography Contest" with this close up of an alium-like flower head;

Beautiful capture of allium flowers. They are beautiful and always great subject to capture. Your pic has nice focus and soft background . The color and texture look very natural. Best of luck.

I like the texture in this photo..definitely noticeable..the color saturation is rich and vibrant and it makes the photo stand out beautifully..I like the close up on the flower..it allows the viewer to see in details the main focal point..there is no wasted space in the frame..the photo you made came exceptionally well..look forward to seeing more from you..

Nice colorful image. The angle of the shot of these colorful flowers is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Boom! See what manual settings can do??
Look at that DOF! F/5.6!
Great capture Brian with fine focus, great exposure and true and natural colors.
Your settings are improving.
Keep that ISO low and F/stop.
Well done!
The DOF has a soft painterly look!!
Bravo B!! ;)

They're very attractive flowers indeed,Brian!

It's dreamily colorful and lots of fun to look at!

This beauty looks like swamp milkweed, but if it was cultivated in a garden it is probably something else. A very nice shot with sharp detail and great colors.

Those flowers are beautiful. I guess that they attract insects with their vibrant color and with sweet smell also. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The soft background gives a hind of the environment, but is not obstructive. The tall format emphasizes the flowers perfectly. The Flowers are well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
