That was easy. Just sifted through my collection of Delphinium images and here we are. It was either this or the green mamba. :smile:

Thanks for looking and thanks for your comments.

I like the BG treatment you have in this image. Great colors and detail in the blooms. I would like to see it just a bit more narrow. Thanks for sharing.

This flower lends itself very well to the vertical pano treatment. Very nicely photographed with good lighting, clear focus, and a nice dark background. Beautiful shadings of color in this lovely flower which your lighting helps showcase. Very nice, Sanjay. :smile:

Green mamba?!?! :eek: Soo glad you didn't post that. . .but then maybe you still plan to. :rolleyes: If so, I will try to critique it rationally. . .I think. . .

Beautiful look at this complex flower in some interesting light. With the black background, it's hard to tell that this is a vertical.

The light 'spotlights' this beauty, with an 'assist' from the dark BG Sanjay.
Love the flowers color, nice details throughout:toast:
It's a no-brainer for the WC :wink:

It kind of loses the panorama format and look because of the matching black background but it's a beautiful shot of the Delphiniums, Sanjay.
