thank you so much for your time and kind comment.....always appreciated...of yea "Happy Friday!!!"

Another beautiful shot Gail. I like the composition and the way it leads in from the top left. Very nicely done.-Jim

Gail, excellent done, beautiful flowers and colors, very good DOF and nice framing , congrats //Salvador

thank you both for your extremely kind comments...your enthusiasm truly does help one want to 'improve with every photo'...many Thanks...Gail

Beautifully done!! I like the DOF to keep the concentration on the flowers with no distraction from the background!!

Thankyou.....yes the Dof tured out quite nice, there's a lot going on back there but it would take a lot to take away all 'distraction'...besides ...sometimes I'm a bit too fussy and have to remember it's ''nautre" and that is how it looked....maybe one day I'll get crazy and do something quite artistic with this one!! LOL...thanks again for your visit.

Gail,

Overall this is one you should certainly be proud of. I agree with you about how much more is going on in the background. Yes, it's nature and that's how it looked but perhaps next time you can try to shoot it from a couple of different angles to see if you can't reduce the busy background. This particular instance makes me think that if you had stepped off to the left about forty-five degrees you might have eliminated some of the distraction. Still, it's a great shot!

Thankyou so much for your "take' on this shot Paul...........unfortunatley, there was fences, that I climbed 'through'.........lattice work to try to 'shoot' through.............this 'branch' of the bleeding hearts appeared where I never thought it would...........but was 'hanging' so perfectly.............I am doing it over...but it will be totally 'photoshopped" in the background.........unfortuanately, time does not permit me to be so 'fussy' at this moment.......there are 'other' obligations in life I must attend to............but to be sure .......a better ''version' will appear.......I'm sorry if you have to be patient.....life is going on in the background....the 'sidelines'.................we have 10 grandchildren.........and there never is a 'dull' moment........

 

MY luck.................this bleeding heart will be dead or almost there by next week.....a dear friend of mine is dying.............and I am unable to be there for her............unable to 'chase away her fears'.............unable to 'hold her hand' like I did when we were 'chums'...........she is not in my family,,,,,,,,,,,,,but the only FAMILY she has left.............and I cannot be there...........when 'fear' grips her heart''.........SO iF I DON'T HAVE A 'REPLACEMENT image right away,,,,,,,,I apologise..............it will be there eventually , But I cannot even 'retake" it to improve on it.........it all has to be 'Photoshopped..........thankyou for your kind comments.....they truly are appreciated....sincerely, Gail

Saw some of these last year at the local botanical garden and had the wrong lens for a good shot.  I guess I need to schedule another visit.  Thanks for the motivation!

Very sorr for the delay in responding, just noticed this comment now.  I hope you did have the opportunity to go back and get your shot.  They are such beautiful flowers.  Kind regards, Gail
