Great focus on the front end, and striking colours in the subject. Though I must admit the seed head in the rear detracts from the overall visual impact, I find. Dare I say that it would make a great subject in 3D? Oops !

Great approach Maggie. I agree the oof seed head in the back is a bit of an eye dragger -but then !
Good one though.

Hi Maggie, isn't quite working for me this one. I really like the colour that is offered but the subject is a bit tatty and there isn't enough of it in focus really.. I agree about the seed head and I think with a little more positioning you might have had a better result..
Thanks folks for your input. Will try and get the next one without a distracting seedhead but think that will mean taking some seceteurs

A nice pair of vintage secateurs here, Maggie. If I hadn't been banned from buying anymore vintage secateurs, by my daughter and granddaughter I would snap them up myself. They're a snip at this price, IMHO.
