Sibling rivalry

This is another picture of my Clematis when they were at their peak of perfection. The vine was quite full and I liked how the Clematis flowers overlapped and seemed to be competing for their place in the sun.

Canon Rebel T1i. 90mm macro lens. F/18 for 1/15 sec. ISO 200.

Excellent comp with good use of line, great color, and the dof is wall to wall beauty. And, of course, the detail is excellent as well. :toast:

A fine composition. Like the peek a boo look.

Really an excellent comp since the center of the bottom one is perfectly centered on a petal! You couldn't have placed it as perfectly as mother nature! Nice and sharp. Well done!

Eye candy! Brilliant colors, shapes and lines... very dramatic. Good subject for a b&w print as well.
