"Psst...did you hear about the EP Mike got for the Arun...do you think we'll get one too??" :jump:

Very nicely composed Mike. Perfect background to set these gossipy clematis off. :wavey:

Conversation, or perhaps a boxing match. Awesome background. The perfect complement to this compelling pair.

Delightful. I like how one faces sideways, while the other is front on. Great comp here and colors. Like to know how you got that wonderful bg color.

Yes, Clematis don't grow straight as the others flowers. It takes different and unusual poses. But this photo is beautiful not for merit of the Clemats: composition, colors, background, attitude, all excellent.
Take care.

Beautiful colors Mike. I like how the two flowers do appear to be talking to each other.
