Thanks Jamie! These are Aquilegia too - the pod which is left after the flower has flowered. I have a soft spot too for Hearts of Aquilegia and really glad you still like it enough to keep in your Favourites folder! Your wife and yourself make a great creative and talented team! Best wishes. Sarah.

Hi Sarah,

  Beautiful image with wonderful colors, lighting & background.  Take care, Patsy

Thanks Patsy. Take care. Sarah.

I like how you manage focus here,nice light and colors,best regards.

Hi Radu. Thanks for stopping by. Best wishes. Sarah.

Lovely detail in the foreground flower and I love the way the second stem appears almost as a faint echo of the first. I like the angle too and the soft background colours. I'm curious....is this a crop and if so,  I wonder if you could post the orginal layout for comparison?

Very well done Sarah!

Best Regards

Alf

Hi Alf. Not a lot gets passed you! Yes it is quite a hefty crop and I will upload the original as taken from my camera on the day. Glad you liked this though. All the best. Sarah.

Very beautiful.

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for your comment. Best wishes. Sarah.
