Another from my time with the Columbines this summer. This is exactly as I found it, and the title struck me as soon as I saw it.

5d, 28-135mm/wmacro, tripod, polarizer,

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

Perfect dof. I love the way this columbine has grown into the evergreen bough. Very unique and quite ornamental. This is really nice.

Morris:
You have a stash of beautiful columbine this year. This is a fine addition to that collection. Just lovely and appropriate title. Like the twist in the vertical petal.

Well seen and captured Morris. I like the contrasts here - both in terms of color and texture (the prickly pine needles contrasted with the delicate flower). If I were to nit, the background is a little busy, particularly on the RHS of the frame but that's being really picky.

Oh yes, and the water drops are icing on the cake!!

Wonderful capture Morris. The DOF/POF combined with the composition put this over the top for me. Wonderful.
