I really like this shot.

The way the top of the plant emerges from the blur is great. I'm not really a plant man - but I'd like to have taken this.

Gorgeous! Have just done a series like this myself, so won't bother posting. Spot on depth of focus. Really nice to get the two flower heads together. Oh, how I have looked for those! :toast:

Beautiful composition. I can just taste the cowslip wine! Not that I would pick them from the wild of course as they are very easy to grow from seed. Excellent
