I know you guys are probably tired of looking at these, so this is my last one of this subject, unless of course I find another batch as interesting. But that won't be until next year.

As always I would appreciate any comment, critique, opinion or anything else you would like to add. Thanks for taking the time.

Dean, very nice...the frame is filled with interest. I like the diagonal band of the purple flowers. Your two large veratrums with a touch of yellow are great looking in the light...and swirling as if caught in motion. My only wish is for the return of top cropped tip. Super shot!

One of the finest corn lily pictures ever. Wonderful color and DOF is exceptional.

You're really a master at these Dean. If I add this type of photo to my portfolio in the future, as I'd like to, you know who I'll be copying. :wink: The subtle blooms are a great touch.

But I am not tired and I will not, who can be tired of beauty?! Those different tones of green are mesmerizing.

The tones are outstanding and so is the composition. Brilliant.

I've never seen one quite like this. I like everything about it such as
the tonal range, the combination of blue and green that go so well
together, and the lines. Thanks for sharing, Dean.
