Hello friends

A backyard late bloomer came to life recently. I think these are bi-annuals and for the life of me I can't remember what they are called??
Been tinkering in the Landscape forum, something I have wanted to pursue so have not been chasing any little birds or big birds...........maybe this Fall though

Here is an offering to say hello

Best to all..............and comments are certainly welcomed

Karl

Dreamlike quality, lovely pastel colors, tack-sharp detail where it should be, and another excellent composition = one beautiful image buddy.
Very, very well done Karl.

Thanks much Kirk. Been looking at these for a few days, we have had a run this Summer of rather weird weather. While the pork roast was on the grill I took a moment to explore
Glad you liked it buddy!

Hello 'brutha'

Lots of charm in the files from an old old 5D. The 85 f/1.8 is a very very fun lens too

I am glad to get seal of approval from your commander in charge Tom, that is a great compliment my friend
Kind of you to stop by, great to hear from you!

Lovely, Karl. I agree with Kirk's opinion regarding the dreamline quality and great composition. If you're going to go for a shallow DOF, I guess you need to make sure there's a clear and obvious focal point, and this image hits that head, er, anther, on! The upper left seems a bit distracting to me, but that's probably because I am easily distracted. ~Greg

Thanks for the detailed observation Greg. Would agree upper left is a just a bit busy perhaps. Could crop tighter to eliminate or tinker with cloning to soften that area up. You have a very good eye and I am glad you tell it like you see it

Beautiful Karl. Love the selective and shallow depth of field. It looks like some sort of day lily.

Lovely shot.

Nice image Karl. If I could focus on something like an anther, I'd do more of this type of image.
