I found these small ground-loving ornithogalums on the edge of a herbaceous border - a variation on a shot I posted a year or so back

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/640 sec @ f 7.1, - 1.33 ev, ISO 400

Superb composition and a wonderful bg Ian. Great sense of depth as well. I like this very much as posted. No suggestions on my part.

Very nicely composed Ian. I like the 3 flowers and the way you have positioned them in the frame. Beautiful detail in the near bloom and nice colors. Well done!

Great point of focus on that front bloom Ian. Nice depth and a good feeling of movement.

Ian - Fine painterly background. The slight incline in the stem and great selective focus for the first bloom looks very artistic to me. Excellent Frame :toast:

Ian, this is a fine, very gentle and inviting look at these flowers. Your positioning in the frame and slightly structured background work very well.

These remind me very much of what I was told were "Rain Lilies" here in the States. It turns out they are of the same family, Asparagaceae.

I can't really add to what has already been said. Good as is! :toast:

It's not easy to take a good photo of so small flowers, but you did it. Excellent Ian.
Take care.
