Albert, I really liked it then and nothing has changed over time. You really do an excellent job with these.

Nice focus,composition,color, and light/shadowing. Lots of interesting lines in here that give me some ideas. I have never had any luck with these subjects. Thanks

I'd say its close to perfect in every way. Really like this one, Albert . . . better than any of the other veratrum shots you've posted, at least in my recollection of them.

Albert:
You do this very well. I remember your very fine posts of this subject and this is perhaps the best. The curvy lines are just mesmerizing.

Albert, this may be one of my favorites of the year, too! I really don't think it gets any better than this with this subject!

Gorgeous, in particular the comp and light but the accolade applies to every aspect of the image.

I remember this one, Albert - a real beauty ! Superb composition with wonderful rhythmic lines and a fulsome sense of the textures of the leaves. Magnificent !!

Super image Albert. I might have cloned out that one, tiny bright speck at the center but a beautiful capture regardless. I'm glad you reposted since I missed this one the first go around.

Albert, I think that you have found the soul of this plant. A great movement of lines and shapes and jet a feeling of stability and peace. Pat is right: it's difficult to see a better portrait of the Veratrum.
A right award.
Have a beautiful holiday time.
