[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Canutillo Leptocarpus Chilensis - That's what the little sign next to it said as I took this shot last weekend at the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens.

I was not able to find much info on it anywhere and I had not heard of it before but was struck by the sight of the long repetitive grassy stalks and the deep red blossoms.

Hello Vincent


I liked your picture,
I liked the repetition of the fruits of the grass.
I like his diagonal being taken
for the swinging of the wind.
Congratulations for the beautiful look!

Very nice shot here Vincent! I've never been to CA, but it looks like a really pretty place to visit! I would DIE to take a week and shoot San Francisco! Maybe some day.... it would cost me $10,000,000 to drive there these days! Wonderful shot!

hi Vincent
great idea to add this photo to today's theme.
I like the uneven clarity of the image, from sharp to blurry. The stalks look like moving with the wind.

Hello Vincent,
A great photo and a great compo with the diagonal capture improving the movement gaven for the repetition of the red points. Almost an oil paiting, very elegant and full of mood.

Superb POV and DOF for an excellent take on these interesting blossoms. You have captured the feel of their grassy delicate look, leaning in the perceived breezes. I like the touches of yellow in the composition that almost go unnoticed but that add dimension and richness. Excellent!

hi Vincent,
great play of of lines and natural colors for the theme of the week...well presented

Perfect addition to the theme Vincent. the maroon "heads" provide a perfect contrast of green stems. The garden looks like a wonderful place to visit when we are back in the Bay Area.

Thanks for the recent visit, appreciated.
