[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another shot of this bloom of the Crocosmia, thanks to members who gave me the name.
It is starting to open up, and I feel that as it dose the blooms that are open will die off, so I thought nows the time.

I darkened the outer to emphasize the bloom.

Thanks
Gil

Excellent close-up on this flower stem, still full of promises! The contrast green and orange with the mix of acuity and blur is so attractive! Bravo! Annie

I do love the details in the water drops this time and your composition is once again very fine, with lovely colours

Hi Gil

I have these in my garden and they are growing like trifids. I love the diagonal here and the shallow DOF. Beautifully composed.
