Columbine

I posted a couple of Columbine shots of these odd variants back in May in the Flora gallery.  Here's another from one of the two day's I photographed them.

5DIII, 180 mm f/3.5L macro, tripod and ballhead, f/16, 1/400, iso 1600, aperture priority, pattern metering.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped from a horizontal original and added a bit of canvas on the bottom.

Comments and criticisms are appreciated.

Thanks,

Very nice Columbine image.  It really stands out well against the darker background.   There is a pleasant softness to the detail.  This is appropriate for a flower.

Fine columbine image, Dennis. Excellent detail and separation from the bg.

A beautiful look at this Columbine, Dennis.  The details in the flower are awesome in the larger view.

Beautiful shot of this Columbine. I've never seen one with these subtle colors. Really lovely against the dark, plain background.
