the backlighting here is what really gives the image it's first impact and the strong contrasts add the finishing touch
Great capture once again.
I wish you all the best in your surgery today

Great shot, I like the rear views of these plants, they stand out so sharp and clean... fine work.

P/S..Glad the "blood pump" ain't a problem, must be a relief for you... hope you have a long one... (life that is)

Howdy neighbor Linda

I slipped over in the rain on Saturday night & had to get an xray of my ankle, at the local hospital. Luckily nothing's broken or fractured, just torn ligaments & severe bruising. Hope your operation was a complete success. I always knew you had a big heart!

I love the low POV here Linda and being right down there with the stems is fabulous.
There is a wonderful rich color, and very high quality to the shot! Well done.

Best wishes today and for the speedy recovery!

Hi Linda,
I so glad to hear your heart is fine. I don't know you however I know you are well thought of and loved by many members on this site. You seemed to have positively impacted many people and they way they live and take pictures. Your pics. are really good and this one is also. The POV is nice and low the colors of the yellow flowers against the green BG look great. Nice DOF and blurred BG.
My family will keep you in our prayers.
Best Regards,
Kevin

Linda
EXTREMELY good news regarding the heart test. Gall Bladders are a walk in the park these days by comparison. Our son had his extracted the week before last. They sucked it out. He had four holes and was up and about the next day and back to work five days later.
And your picture is spot on too.

Hi Linda,
I am glad that everything went well. And also my prayer for your mom.

I believe that the f4.5 had given you a nicer result Linda. It helped your low angle be more attractive with its dof. Nice backlighting as well.

Regards,
Ramdan
HAPPY CANADA DAY

As Silke says Linda, the backlighting makes this one. Good colour and nice detail.
