Clematis

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted May 8, 2012210 views9 comments

Image taken in my yard on Sunday. Nikon d700, 180 macro, tripod, f16, 1/20sec, iso 400. I have a few more of this clematis I like. Choosing between them is not easy. I may post one or two more either here or in flora. Larger version included. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

Superb bottoms up view of the Clematis, Scott. Great positioning of the petal ends in the bottom right thirds and terrific leading lines amidst pastel purple

I like the comp a lot, great use of F/16 for this Scott.
I think the bit of pink peaking through adds good interest, well done!

The flow lines and their placement work really well. I also like the subtle color contrast between the yellow/greens and pastel purples. What a glorious umbrella for a small critter.

Beautiful pov for this clematis, not one I'm used to seeing. Wonderful pastel greens and purples complimenting each other so well.
