Another flower that I have not photographed much.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor @ F/7.1, 1/80 Sec, ISO200, Tripod under morning natural light.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Bleeding Heart and do share your thoughts on this one.

Really nice colors and I love the way the stems ever so slightly cross over and then separate with the flowers mimicking one another

Nice detail, color, comp. and background. I think it feels a little tight at the top of the frame.

Excellent image Ram. Perfect DOF, allowing to see all the nice details with very good separation from excellent BG. Well done. :toast:

Beautiful. I don't see how you could improve on this...the light, composition, and bg are all wonderful.

I like the way the flowers bend to make sure they get into the frame. It seems like a childish thing to do. That makes it easy to think of these grape hyacinths as children laughing and giggling as they cavort in the warm spring sunshine.

Color contrasts, background and curving lines all contribute to an excellent composition.

Ram: Do you carry these wonderful BGs around in your pocket? What a great complement to the subject which you have captured brilliantly. Most excellent. >=))>
