For many years I looked for Nigella flowers. Finally this year I have found this plant in a pot by a florist's. Before taking a photo of them , I went for a walk with my dog along the riverside and suddenly I have found myself surrounded by hundreds of wild Nigellas! The case has fun.

D800E, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/22 and ISO 280 (Better seen il the larger view)

Thanks for your opinions and advices.

I like the delicate tracery of the stems and flowers. I especially like the double diagonal of the flowers. The DOF is spot on. Expert work, up to your usual standards. cool

A wonderful graphic image - great composition. The structure in the petals enhanced through the lighting is very special!
