Very Small Flowers

Gallery: FloraPosted May 29, 2012135 views11 comments

These flowers are very small. Each flower is less than 1/2 inch in diameter. They grow wild in a corner of my backyard. I think they are very pretty and delicate.

All comments are welcome and appreciated. Also, I don't know what kind of flowers these are so if anyone can ID them that would be helpful.

Great job on these little flowers, Barb! We have these flowers growing down along our creek and I will agree that they are quite small. Don't know what they are called though. You did a wonderful job of getting these flowers all in focus but keeping the background from being too distracting. I really like the staggered arrangement of the flowers. Very nice!

Barb - I am thinking this might be Common Chickweed flower.

Works beautifully as presented. The flowers occupy all the nice points in the frame using the space effectively.

A perfect composition with beautiful light. The flower details are excellent. I like POV and great, eye catching white color. Nicely done Barb.

This is gorgeous, Barb ! I really love the pattern of this cluster of star-like flowers in their habitat - just beautifully photographed in every respect.

They look very delicate Barb. I really like the details in the center. My one nit would be the leaf that is covering part of the bottom right bloom. I wish that I could see all of that one. Otherwise, I like it a lot.

Super composition and detail. I might be tempted to get rid of that one partial leaf center left, but not a deal breaker.

Barb:
Nice! Good exposure on the white, nice bg and pleasing spatial arrangement

I agree with Nathan about the leaf partially covering one of the bloom. However, one of the 'tricks' to draw viewer's attention in Ikebana flower arrangement is to partially cover some of the flowers but this does not seem to work too well in a 2D medium .
