On my Hostas around the pond before the slugs get going. Loads of these at the moment. A rare excusion( well 5 yards from the kitchen !) with the 150 macro. Starting to get used to it.
I quite liked the curve of the bendy shadows.

Nice one although I would have preferred more side on but appreciate that may not have been possible...

that's nice John. They look a little lost in the small version but much better in the larger one. I would also tend to shoot side-on but I do quite like the shadow.

Thanks both
I agree about the side on but didn,t really fancy sitting in the pond

Cheers

Rather than more side on, I think I would have preferred to shoot from above to emphasise those shadows

Could be a tough crop but I would prefer not have the BG in top left

Love this one JR, nice and diferent and the shadows and lines of the leaves really complement each other. The old adage "red and green should not been seen" does not apply here!
