Going through some shots from the Mercer Arboretum taken in October. Found these Cat Whiskers popping up through the ground cover. All comments welcome. >=))>

Nice capture. Like the white against the sweet creamy green BG. I am learning a lot looking at how you frame different flowers.

Very interesting plants, an excellent comp as usual, and nice soft light and color. Wonderful work.

Bill, an interesting capture. I like the pop of the Cat Whiskers against the muted green bg, Great separation. Great dof. Not sure the foreground ground cover adds to the image. It is hiding some of your subject. This is one of those times I would have used my Felco nursery shears and clipped the fg groundcover, but bet you couldn't do that at an Arboretum! With this in mind, a to a very interesting presentation.

Bill, the main bloom looks very very nice with the wonderful whites against the wash of green The FG, mainly the LRC would probably need something different, though not sure what
