Thank you for your comments on Morning Glory 2. Here's number MG 3. Different blossom (and day) but same plant. Obviously a completely different angle and view. Natural sunrise light; the bg is a mass of Black Eyed Susans. Nikon D700, 180 macro, f5.6, iso 400, 1/400, tripod. Fellows Riverside Gardens, Youngstown. Larger image included. Comments, criticisms, and questions welcome. :wavey:

Beautiful lighting, colors, and bg, Scott. And I like the diagonal comp. Nicely done.

I like these images from the far side Scott. The light and detail makes this a winner in my book.

This whole series is great! I like the diagonal view in this one, but it might be nicer if the stem did not come exactly out of the corner...still that is not really that big of a deal. The way the light is shining through is gorgeous!

What a lovely view with all the bright, light colors and the nice flowing lines in the flower. Great job!

Beautiful glowing bg and graceful lines of the blossom make this image a joy to view.

Terrific! Love the light, color, BG, etc. (I also like it rotated clockwise 90 degrees). :toast:

Scott:
Another excellent addition to the series. The bud and base of the bloom is just as good as the rest of the flower. The light is real nice. Top notch image.

Scott - The Light is impressive and I love it when I see yellows in the background for the Blue Flowers. Another beautiful photo in the Morning Glory Series.
