Aster bud

Wonderful low key composition, the surrounding and the Aster bud well gathered together, I meant to say, the bud was well integrated in the surrounding, but my poor English sometimes does funny equilibrations! My sincere compliments, Tatiana! PDE

Thank you very much, Pierre, for your "low key" observation and compliment! Sincerely, Tatiana

PS Spider is hiding in this frame.

Brava Tatiana. This Aster bud stand out very sharp from the beautiful blurred background, good contrast and technical quality , ciao Giangiorgio

This is a beautiful, colorful photo. I'm not sure if in your area these are called Asters, but normally they are Dahlias. They both belong to the same family but are different.

I am very grateful to you, Giangiorgio, for your continued support, valuable observation and a beautiful compliment! Sincerely, Tatiana

Hi Tatiana,

 

an effectively centered composition with the the folded petals of this flower as the deep purple (no pun intended) star of this show. The DoF is gorgeous, the color contrast very appealing. Although you could have cropped the image a lot tighter, I like it this way, with room for the OoF repetition of the stalk. The spider hiding behind the flower (it took me some time to see it) is the finishing touch. Kind regards, Vincent

I am glad for your visit, Gregory and Verena! In our region, these plants are called garden asters. More precisely, it is the Callistephus chinensis (lat.). Aster family. Thanks a lot for your observation and compliment! Sincerely, Tatiana

Thanks- very interesting.

Thank you very much, Vincent, for your generous attention, valuable imaginative observation and compliment! Sincerely, Tatiana

PS At the same time, I want to thank once again all my dear viewers. I plan some pause with Photo.net and I will miss you.

Hi Tatiana,

 

I hope your pause with photo.net will be pleasant and meaningful to you. I'm sure I speak on behalf of many if I say we'll surely miss you too! Kindest regards, Vincent

Tatiana, A somber mood and slightly subdued background color yet it is an excellent image. I think that's why the bud pops out as well as it does. Perfectly captured in all respects...........Best Always, Holger

Thank you a lot, Holger, for your interesting observation and compliment! Sincerely, Tatiana
