Help required on the naming of this flower. We were visiting a relative when I spotted the bush buried behind another rather hideous specimen. Picked this flower to take the macro. A full view of the flower I will place as a workshop.

PP work... Slight saturation and framing.

It looks like clematis to me. Nice macro of its scary stamens. :)

Nice macro. Clear with nice colours and lines.

Yes, it is a clematis David. Many hybrids but all are so attractive. They are climbers. Beautiful shot of it David, a good macro,

My Clematis

Hi David,
wow, it's so beautiful - the colour is marvelous, also the sharpness.
We had the same idea today to show a violet flower ;-) Funny ;-)
Thanks and sorry, I also can't help with the ID.
Bye and have a good start into the new week

An excellent macro shot, David! Very well composed, detailed and wonderful colours. Well done!! Alla.

I never know the name of flowers, they die before I get a chance to learn it. I have such a black thumb that the local nurseries have banned me! Weeds...I can grow!
This is a beautiful very purple macro, clear and crisp. I just hope it doesn't wilt now that I have looked at it!
Hugzzz,
Fran

Hello David!
Beautiful colors and contrasts,
I love your macros !
This one looks a bit like a big spider closing her legs around its victim.
Great job ( as usual )
Robert

PS Thank you for your kind comment on my latest photo : 30cm later . we had a lovely weekend. A beautiful snowy day followed by a Coll sunny day. Perfect for skiers!

Hi David,
Nice macro... kind of creepy! I like your composition, and both colours and details are flawless...
Regards,

Hi Dave,

Fantastic macro! I couldn't imagine that this would come from the flower in the workshop. Semms like an allien, a medousa... :)
Anyway, very sharp with great detail and colours. I like it a lot!
Well done, mate!

Very beautiful Shot David... yes its a Clematis... beautiful colours and so sharp too...

You will see I have a photo in my gallery, of the clematis with all the leaves dropped off, and its still beautiful at that stage...
thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Dawn.

Fantastic macro, very good detail, vivid colors and well exposed. I also like the tight frame and presentation.

Oh, what a fantastic macro! The colour and the sharpness is just great.
It's definately clematis. I wanted to grow it on the balcony, this colour exactly, but the plant didin't want to co-operate with me ... :D
Have a look here.

Hi David,
great macro of clematis (yes, I am sure that this is clematis - I have read previous notes... LOL). Great sharpness, DOF. Wonderful colours. The shadows add depth to the photo. tfs

Very sharp shot here and great macro work, David.
When I saw this picture, my first thought was "Clematis" and then I saw the workshop......and yes, this is a Clematis. Very beautiful climber and he's there in many kinds. I have three different species in my garden.

The title is an evidence :)
Excellent presensation! Evident precision is nice to see and the way it's almost look good if you want to scratch your back, but i know it's smooth material don't worry! The sun was of a good presence... The shadows that we see add some good texture!
