Flowers?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated (as would be a hint as to the

name of this beautiful flower). :-)

Lou Ann, Don't know\care what they're called but if I had the time I'd sure invest some of it plus a few frames on them. Good decision. Best, LM.

I don't know the name and I'm not sure if it is a flower, but it is very beautiful, has a lot of fantastic colors. Well done!

Different and beautiful...

very interesting--the fine details look like little sprays of water

Very original and abstract composition!!!

These are very nice, Lou Ann. If they were not on the ground, I might have mistaken them for mimosa blossooms.

You went thru Somewhere, Alaska many times on your travels, heh? ;-) Really like this.

I like the colors and the dof.

I have no idea, I will call them Loulou's.

Hi Lou Ann, Nice shot and light! They are not flowers. See heads of some type of tall grass. Let me know if you find out what kind, they are very nice and I do care what they are and would like to grow them. Kind Regards, Gary

I like the slight movement and the color. Look like they belong on the cuffs of a bathrobe ;-)....maybe they are "foofies".....

=0) nice one lou ann!

Very artistic pic!

Great colours and sense of the wind ruffling them. (No idea if there was a wind or if that is just my imagination!).

Probably blue wild rye, elymus glaucus.. I study herbs, not so good with grasses, sorry...I cant eat the grasses for good health... and, as rye attracts the mould, ergot, which is extremely carcinogenic, maybe we better leave this one be..Comments..would have been a little more saturated and clear with agfa ultra 100, or fuji superia reala 100, if u like fuji, you didnt need that 800 speed here. Also it is a wee bit overexposed for maximum balance, and harmony..This shot needed a bracket of this exposure, then one and then 2 stops less. Then pick the best..Maybe 2 stops down would have been the most dramatic..When using film, when one is able to visualise the effect one wants from the exposure, only then can one spot.meter on a lighter spot, to make the pix darker, or on a darker spot, to make the pix lighter..and get away with a single shot. Until that time, u have to waste 2 shots, to get a perfect one. ...Herein lies one of the very few advantages of digital, as maisel claims.. ..Also in this shot, a slightly wider aperture, sorry for the tech shit, ladies, to place the background more out of focus, would have given added dimension......To have made this shot spectacular, one needed to move to the right and down, and shoot into the sun, thru the wild rye.. The composition as is, is strict, clear and pleasing..

It reminds me some grasses I have seen in France on the "Causse Méjean", which were called "plumets" in french and which I have photographed on this shot http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2147031. Mine are not red.

Thank you for sharing this very unique and impactful perspective.

But I like Lindas thought on the subject, it does look like the cuffs on the robe Ken has gotten himself stuck in over at Kims house, snicker !*R*

Eye-catching and original shot, Lou Ann. Well done! Thought I had already rated it, but alas, I had not.

Wonderful capture. I can feel the breeze. Thanks.

The fluffiness in this shot has the feel of a fresh summer breeze on a warm afternoon. Fantastic!

I really like your very poetic and soft picture about the ordinary "couch grass", that bothered me so much when I runned my own little garden in Perigord (France). It's called "chiendent" by the french gardeners, it grows very easily and fast, it "sitfles" all the other plants. The roots go deep down under and are long for meters. Hard to get rid of it.

 

I've seen it in many colors, even dark red in eastern europe, but never so pinky.

 

Congrats :-)

I guess we're all on the same track when it comes to "foofies". . . . beautiful colors and so soft and fluffy . . .

...of color, side-lighting, and composition. I think that, as insignificant as they may first seem, the blades of grass on the right are truly important in making this image works. Nice work, keep it up.
