It's a very yellow flower Helen, and the black fly on it contrasts really well. And I can see the cobweb too.
Nicely captured

Hi Helen

Great photo!
Love how you captured the fly on the flower, and you can still see parts of the web!

PS tried login onto doodraz, but it keeps telling me my email address already exists, not sure why though?

Hello Helen,

A lovely shot of this Potentillo flower recording its textural details as well as it mellow yellows. I like the way the second flower is nestling closely under the main one.
Good dof and the acrobatic fly is a bonus!

My personal preference is to see the flower looking into the frame rather than out of it.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Helen,
J'adore les macros de fleur, et celle-ci est d'une très belle netteté!
Je suis toujours en admiration devant les beautés de la nature.
Le cadre est bien choisi et ne créé aucune distraction.

Colour, details, light are all super, Helen
If I may make one suggestions though?
The flower seems to be facing to the left -- would it not be better therefore to have a little more space on the left than on the right?

Hello Helen, a lovely composition with good sharpness.I think that you chose the right one with the acrobatic fly.
The sunlight shows off the details beautifully.
The blurred bg is excellent.
Thanks once again, for your work with the themes each week.
Best wishes Jean.

Hey... I thought the spider's name was Itsy Bitsy instead of Mellow Yellow!
:-)
Love the sharpness and composition here Helen.
Nice work indeed!

Hi Helen , a very nice image with lovely color and lighting , I like the choice of field depth here not over blurring the nice colors of the back ground plants , the darkness of the background also highlights the flower nicely , TFS ,and for the great theme ideas too

I'd rather see a fly on the flower than the spider. There would not be left much room for seeing the yellow flower when the spider was the one sitting on it. Although you can see he is in the neighbourhood by the lightning rags on the right.
I hope the fly has escaped in time.

I am crazy about colors. Here I can see what it is said: "yellow on green gives a radiant effect, outshining the green". Since green is a mixture of yellow and blue, the yellow is among friends. Beautiful photo with extra bonus, like the well sharpness of the fly and the spider´s thread (I will be waiting for your spider photo). TFS

hi helen,
I'm glad I joined the theme...lovely pics there.
This pic of yours is 'spot on' on the theme.
Initially I was looking for the spider but only managed to see a strand of web on the right.
The whole thing fell into place when i read your note and saw the WS picture...
...it's like, 'there came a big spider, and sat down beside her'...heh heh!
I hope you were not scared.
