[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We’ve had some really strange weather lately, including three hail storms in less than a week.

I was at my mother’s home on Sunday when one of them hit. Fortunately the hailstones were only pea-sized this time (unlike the golf-ball sized ones of a week ago that tore down small branches from the trees and punched holes in my flowers!). Once the storm had cleared, this is what I found on her balcony.

Tech: composed in camera, taken in raw, adjusted levels and contrasts slightly, converted to jpg, resized, sharpened, framed and signed

Thanks for looking and have a safe, happy and healthy week!

OH this is just the BEST Silke! Excellent work here! The dark frame just brings you to this gorgeous picture! The clarity is perfect here! Nice and sharp! Just the best! Love the rich color, very passionate! Love the off center comp with the flower facing into the shot! ***I love it…I’ll take 3 for my garden!*** B-)

weather is realy strange these days, you know in summer time (Juen and july) in India, we usualy have tempreature like 40 to 43 degree, such hot but this time we have reain showers in june, which never happened in 108 years.
May be we are going to face Global Warming issue very soon.

Hi Silke

Looks like the flowers survived relatively unscathed. Some hail storms I've seen, have absolutely shredded every last leaf. Good dof, sharpness & repetition of the rain drops. Tfs!

WoW! What a beautiful macro! Beautiful details, colours and almost perfect POV (would be perfect if upper petal wouldn't be aligned with bg flower - it's a bit disturbing). tfs

I think this strange weather's cause is Global Warming. What do you think?
lovely flower,perfect light,fine details & clear water drops. Well done.

Bonjour Silke,
Cette clématite est absolument superbe ! La lumière, les couleurs, l'encadrement choisi, tout est parfaitement réussi. Bravo.
Antoine.

Hi Silke,
this is very clear and well focused indeed !
Excellent detail.
In my opinion, perhaps it would look even better with the main subject moved slightly from the centre.

Well done all the same.
Best regards, Daniel

Hi Silke,
A lovely macro with fine water drops on the petals.
A beautiful colour too.

What a beautiful colour this Clematis is. It looks so drenched!! Poor flower with such heavy puddles left on the petals.
Nicely composed Silke, and it is interesting to see how the petals change colour as they get older too. (Does your mother know the name of the clematis?)

Hello SIlke

Phew, caught up again :-)

Wonderful shot here, nice sharp detail and a very refeshing feel to it too

TFS regards Helen

Hi Silke,
This blood red clematis(?) is very beautiful and enhanced by the water drops. I am, however, not very fond of the frame as it is too thick, uneven, and distracts from my appreciation of the well composed image - just an opinion. My best regards to you dear, Danilo

Hi Silke,
Perfect close up great detail and sharpness. What to say more, a stunning picture my dear!
Hans

Hello Silke!
Fantastic detail and clarity in your composition and beautiful clematis!
Wonderful colours and great light!
Best regards!
Lili

Hi Silke,
The sharpness of the image and the clarity of details are excellent. The water droplets certainly made the flowers look very fresh. Color quality is very good ... I like the true colors displayed. Well composed and presented! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Lovely rich colour Silke. Well composed with good detail and well presented.
David
