Red Bud

I love the way hellebores spread themselves facing downwards like a canopy. One fresh bud here peeps through.

Nicely done, Ian. This is not an image for a narrow DOF, and I think you chose wisely. The colors green and pink are very complementary opposites. The venation and texture take this over the top. Good job! :toast:

Wonderful balance of color and light across the frame here. Really like all the textures you brought out even though it's not a high-contrast image.

This is a fine image. Only nit possibly a little overly busy. Perhaps if bgd were muted some?

Wonderful composition. It might have seemed too busy because of all the elements but the colors, textures, and shape work really well together.
