Beautiful flower here Silke, RICH yellows HAHA! I laugh because I just got through pulling yellow OUT of my photo! This flower just looks like it’s FULL of pollen! Love your details. Love the comp on this, slightly turned, instead of the temptation of making it straight up and down! Very nice work again!

Hi Silke

A fantastic macro of the squash flower. I thought it was a pumpkin vine at first. Good dof & colour. Tfs!

Hi Silke,
What a wonderful idea! I'd like to see it being practiced here too. Soo much land and water wasted either abandonned or covered with decorative, useless luxury.

Your blossom is perfect in sharpness and detail and the colors are very lovely.

Hi dear friend,
indeed it's a real pleasure to see the urban land being used like this.

Beautiful shot and excellent note Silke.
I agree with you 100% on the resourceful use of our urban lands.
Recently had my front lawn replaced with a drought tolerant flower and fruit tree garden.
It basically only needs a fraction of the water the lawn used to need.

Love the star shape of this flower, great clarity
and perfect DOF.
Well done!

Hi Silke,
I could to smell the characteristic odor of this cucumber flower! As it don't reflect the light, you rendered so well its matt color... and the fine lace on the petals.
Very fresh and alive photo! Annie

Hello Silke,

I think that is a very sensible and productive way of using the land. Everyone benefits.

I love the strong colour tones of this star-shaped flower. The textural details are superb. Very nicely composed and framed.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Silke,
Greetings from Malaysia. thanks for visiting my post and like the flower. This one looks like a pumpkins to me. as it is in our country this is the most likely.
Very clear with the details of the stament and nice positioning too. The BG goes well with the colour of the flower.
Nice shot.

Foozi
