Ram:
I love this a lot. I make a similar image with a single periwinkle last year and like it but these twins are way way better.

I am a little undecided about the water droplets though especially the obvious one near the left edge - tend to interrupt the gaze as I explore the image; probably just me but would be interested to see what others have to say.

Gary, Good point. I work on an iMac which has a bright screen - I had to really look to find what you were saying. After a few seconds, I am able to see that water drop :eek: . Did not really see it earlier.

Ram:
I also process on my Mac and have the same problem. I see things on other monitors that I don't see on the Mac which I agree is a little on the bright side.

The overcast conditions enabled you to capture these perfectly. I like the red, white and green colors. Very nice presentation.

nice composition, Ram...I also see the waterdroplet by (how Gary said) exploring your image on my Mac, really hard to see on a first view...I like the "Twins" a lot...

Superb work Ram. I'd clone out the droplet now that Gary has spotted it but otherwise this is an exceptional image for my tastes. As fine a use of ground and space as I recall seeing in an image.

An excellent high key image Ram. I do not see the water droplet on my screen. Great color from the center. I have not planted Vinca in a few years, but this makes me want to try them again next year.

The offset centers and the spiral arms are just beautifully arranged......the whites are perfect. Very nice image.

Hi Ram :wavey: Better late than never :biggrin: Very busy with tests and x-ray treatments for my prostrate problems, wiil start commenting again today. in full force!! Another great composition, with delightful lines and color. With my poor eyesight, i wish {for me} that the petal edges were a bit more defined :rolleyes: water drop,? can't even see it :confused: I'll be 78 oct 5th, so i should not complain about my sight. :biggrin:
