The Echium vulgare here grows up to 1.000 meters in the Alps.

Another of the photos shot during the mountain holidays. Taken and edited with plenty of light.

Always glad to read your thoughts and advices.

Gigi

This is a delightful image. The bright light here is fitting of the open space and freshness of the mountain environment.

Gigi - Very nicely done. I particularly like the "V"s in this photo - even in the stamens. Pretty effective utilization of the frame also.

Nice high key look Gigi. I love the details in the flower and the color is great too.

Love the lightness and feathery look with the fine details throughout. Unusual flower and perspective. Nice work Gigi.
