Crown of Heathers

Older file from spring. Most will recognize my tendency to mix old leaves or petals with new growth for contrast.

Like the subjects, their detail and color range. Technically well done, but the placement is just a little too neat for my taste. :biggrin:

Ken: Oh I like this! Great combination of elements and a very pleasing color palette. The fresh condition of the heather is especially nice. Very well done. >=))>

Ken, Great eye there :cool: . Love the circular arrangement of the flowers and the dried leaf which provides the contrast in the center.

Very nice Ken, beautiful detail, and I especially like the mix of colors, the dried leaf really sets off the composition. Beautifully seen and presented.
