Hi Frank!
Very well done photograph. Great sharpness and composition, intensive colours, interesting POV.
Few days ago I was crawling in grass wanted to take very similar photo:) but strong sun light didn't helped me much.

Hi Frank,
I have alway come across these plants, but never knew their name. Thanks for the description.
Amazing sharpness and details, lovely natural colours.
Very well done.

Obviously interesting perspective, and far better shot from "on the ground" than from any other "classical" position I think, and for me, a great reminder of why it's important to do.
The image itself is great, all photo aspects of color, lighting, sharpness, DOF, etc. Curious, was it a calm or breezy day?
As to the placement, every time I look, seems that I want it to be just a tad to the right, maybe a 1/2 inch or so, seems that the wild grass would create a natural corridor for the big plants. (Not so much a complaint as a musing though)
Anyway, great shot and education on the plant too.
Thanks for the lesson and for sharing, nice job.

Oh this SO reminds me of rattlesnake rattles! Scary... it made my skin crawl! I've had about 3 too many encounters with rattlesnakes and don't want anymore! HA! Very nice details here, love the DOF!

Bonjour Frank
Un beau cliché de la nature au printemps,j'aime beaucoup ce rendu des couleurs et la très bonne gestion de la profondeur de champ.
Une très belle composition simple bien gérée à tous les niveaux.
Bonne soirée.

Bonjour Frank,
Comme une plante banale peut s'avérer d'une rare beauté sous l'oeil avisé d'un bon photographe! Ce qui est le cas ici! Les détails et les couleurs de ces spécimens se fondent dans une si belle lumière. Très fluide et légère image! Bravo! Annie

I like the very low pov. Sharpness and colour it very good. Shallow dof comes to its own right in this photo.

Prachtig Frank,

Ik zit me suf te peinzen of wij niet een andere naam ervoor hebben - maakt niet uit, aantrekkelijk van vorm en kleur.
Lag je op je buik in het gras te kauwen op een grassprietje?

Beautiful in all aspect Frank.

Good news Frank, My sponsor from EPZ(ePhotozine.com)of which I'm also a member, sent me a NIkon D70 my 1st DSLR. Today, another member of EPZ pleaded to send me the lens. God is good Frank. I'm a member of EPZ last Feb 08' and here in Treklens only last month. I find both site very friendly and helpful.

Thank you,
Dennis

Hello Frank!

I thought they were tails of rattlesnakes (^_^). Cool DOF to enhance the beauty of this repetition theme.

Well observed and captured!
Cheers!

That's a very pleasant picture. I like the colors and the contrast. The first think I checked after seeing it was the lens used. Nice.

Een originele, toch zeker qua onderwerp.
" Plat op de buik gaan " ... hier is dat zeker geen schande.
De kadrering of compositie als je wilt, daar heb ik een
" nu ja, ieder bekijkt het anders " gevoel.
De scherptediepte en meer bepaald de voorgrond zo onscherp,
dat is voor mij " spijtig "
en dan heb ik het niet over die grassprieten.
De scherpte zelf vind ik wél zeer goed.

Laat zulke foto's maar komen !
Wel eerst even opzoeken hoe je grasplekken uit kledij krijgt
:-)

Groetjes

Good morning Frank!
Great shot! Beautiful natural colours, very good depth of field, sharp details of the plants are contrasting nicely with the blurry background. My compliments
best regards

O dit is mooi, Frank! Op zich zou dit moeten volstaan als kritiek. Sommige dingen zijn gewoon mooi en daarmee uit - het is de verdienste van de fotograaf ze op te merken en in een beeld te vatten (niet voor fotografen met een slechte rug ;o)).
Toch wil ik er nog bij vertellen dat ik de kleur en het scherptediepte-effect bijzonder geslaagd vind. Ook gaat er van je foto iets "fragiels" uit, dat ik aandoenlijk vind, al is dit plantje inderdaad allesbehalve makkelijk klein te krijgen.
TFS & groeten,
Erik
