Very good choice for a square crop, Craig

- while there is no question about the main subject matter (its top notch), its the creative use of the maple like leaves that makes this shot even more interesting for me.

Wicked sharp Craig and I agree with Ram about the use of the leaves. I also like the vignette blur. A very good looking post.

Craig:
Wonderful details in the bloom and the blue is nicely rendered.

As good a clematis image as I can recall, Craig ! Beautifully composed, with a superb rendering of the petals and a wonderful complement of leaves in the bg.
