Acanthus

Oh, wonderfully and very well done...

beautiful focus!

superbes hampes

Wonderful floral close-up; great DOF.

A great game with sharpness/unsharpness, Keith ! Fine picture !

I love everything

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! So beautiful, Keith! LOVE the dof and flowery bokeh! What a nice find. Isn't it fun to play with DOF? I expect you do this too...I will take a number of pictures with various DOF and then I can choose the perfect one! :)

Thanks so much for your visit today, I hope you enjoyed my fence-bokeh background! :)

OH and BTW I added another set of pictures today! :D I think I was posting them at the same time as you were looking at my clover picture! :)

Have a wonderful day!

I have one of these in the garden Keith, but more purple and amongst so many other shrubs that it would be impossible to get a clear picture like this one. You've focused beautifully on the one stem, which looks beautiful. Hope you have enjoyed the good weather today!

These are magnificent and you've done a great job capturing them. Lovely composition and great focus. I recommend viewing it large.

Thank you for all your kind comments folks.............I've pretty much run out of flowers to photograph in my garden, but luckily I have lots of wonderful public gardens near me!

Ene naar voor---Prima Keith!

Thank you Fred.............I'm glad you approve!

they may have darker hues as well...
this is very tender !

Thank your Christel...........glad you like it.

Oooo. Glorious! Love this and the bokeh. Mmmmmmm

Thanks Jan...............I'm pleased that you like it.

A fine capture and striking use of depth of field.

Cheers John.............glad you approve :-)

Beautiful!! Thanks for naming this flower, Keith. I've often wondered what it is but no-one knowledgeable around at the time.
