A Tangle of Anemones

I shot these anemones into an early evening sun. Trying to capture something of the lovely, if random play of lines and shapes that you find with a mass of these flowers.

A tricky comp, Ian, but you pulled it off really well. I like the overlapping receding anemones in the nice light against the dark bg. Overall, a very beautiful floral image.

Just beautiful with such nice color and light, Ian. I also like the pov from behind the foreground flower and it's view of the others. Very well done.

A beautiful pictorial image, Ian. I find it very atmospheric, I think because of the dark background. I wonder if it would be improved by including all of the two relatively in-focus buds at the bottom edge if you have them. The yellow accents add greatly.

Hi Ian

I think that you captured the play of lines and shapes wonderfully well. An excellent composition, with sublime color
