Tim, what a unique perspective :toast: . Never thought a Lupine would be shot top down by anyone. Each passing day throws up new possibilities and surprises.

Tim:
Unusual perspective. Looks like a sapphire on top of red velvet pedestal. Nice comp.

Cool. I didn't recognize the flower, but then realized it was a lupine from the leaves. Very unique.

Great perspective, Tim. I did not reconize this as a lupine at first. The color combination of red and green works beautifully together. What do you think of toning down a few of the brightest waterdrops; they pull me away from the colorful lupine.

The contrasting warm and cool colors are terrific in this as is the design element contained in the flower itself. I also like the water droplets on the leaves. I'm wondering how this would look with the leaves just a little more OOF?? Nice stuff.

I really like the pov. And the complimentary colors. Your dof works perfectly here. Try getting real close next time? There are some crazy patterns looking down on this that I have never noticed.
