Currently the dominant bloom in our garden, the hellebore has been photographed a lot lately.

There are so many varieites and colors, they are one of my favorite flowers. NIce job capturing such rich colors and so much detail. Just wish they would hold their heads up higher. My only suggestion would be to tone down the one bright spot on the bottom right. Stunning image!

Nice sharp detail throughout the photo. Large version really looks great.

The glowing center makes for a compelling image. Gorgeous with excellent clarity.

The colouring and detail are superb, Ken, and I love the crowded composition, which seems just right for such a luscious plant.

Your shots always have such great deep, rich colors, Ken. This is no exception. Well done. I wish the one top petal wasn't curling down so much. But, nature's not perfect.
