Another shot from my glads recently. It was a particularly good year for them here. Great color, and lots of blooms.

5d, 50mm macro, f2.5, 1/60, iso 400, natural overcast light, tripod,

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

Rich color throughout and a strong interesting diagonal composition. Excellent detail as well and the subject/ground separation couldn't be better for my tastes. Superbly done Morris. Gorgeous image.

Dreamy...boy those glads are great! Composition and location in frame is perfect. Cream whites n yellows with the red edges look very fresh and vibrant. Against the blurred green shows them off nicely. Great dof.

Nice glads,Morris. Well spaced and good framing. I could take a lesson or two from you.

Lovely light and colors, Morris. I like the slightly leaning angle and the bg is far out with the wonderful OOF foliage.
My first reaction was to want to see just a smidgeon more space on the left, but honestly not sure.

Lovely image.

Cheers,

Carol

Lovely baby pinks with a terrific soft feel, Morris

. No suggestions from me, just marvellous as presented.

In winter I intend to buy some Glads (when I can no longer do florals outside like I normally do) and give all you Glad shooters some competition

Just very nice. Excellent soft colours. The lower part a bit OOF. Nicely done Morris.

Splendid perspective on this bunch, Morris, and lovely light and colouring. The delicacy of the flowers comes through superbly.

Love this comp, Morris. The background of the petals provides the perfect contrast for the blooms in both color and shape. Beautiful dof.
