I hope photos like this are OK to be posted here :smile: - if they really have to be documentary type nature photos, please let me know.

ND200, 200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/11, 1/60 Sec, Crazy Good Natural Lighting (Just minutes prior to an approaching storm), ISO200 and Tripod.

I placed the Bleeding Heart on the Fern.

This is super! I like the soft pink and green b/g with its darker spots. Clarity and comp is elegant and royal. The curves on the fern are a photo by themselves. Nicely done! (my one nit is wanting to clean up the torn bleeding heart stem...maybe a razor-snip just before the T.)

This is beautiful Ram. I love the single blossom with all the green of the fern, and the arching leaves.

Post away, ram...we don't have any set rules as far as "documentary" type nature photos.

Fantastic image! Love the fern and green background showing off the Bleeding Heart! :toast:
