Marsh Marigold

Gallery: FloraPosted September 25, 2010414 views29 comments

Another product from this summer at Long Lake here in Colorado. With all this going on in the center of the flower, they probably get a lot of attention from the pollinators.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for lookin,

Hey Morris, beautiful details in the center. The dark bg is a nice contrast to the highlights.

I like this a bunch Morris, very inviting to the eyes. The square crop works very well and one has to appreciate the soft petal structure as well as the detailed pollinators. Great OOF BG too, well done!

Morris, whata shot. Great detail and the bg sets it off perfectly. The whites are wonderful. The symphony of the strings and brass are giving a fantastic overture.

Morris:
Fabulous and stunning composition. Such clarity and details on the center of the flower and petals and yet nice blurry bg.
