Bleeding Heart

I have not photographed this flower much at all. This has to be a first serious attempt. Finally glad to see some flowers in this part of the US.

ND300s, 200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/8, 1/100 Sec, ISO200 and Tripod.

Do share your thoughts on this one.

Beautiful, Ram. Excellent background. Love the graceful arc of the stem and the progression of the hearts from large to small and portrait to profile. Many thumbs up.

Lovely shot. The curve is nice and you show the age progression really well.

Lovely presentation Ram. In addition to the crisp edges on the bleeding hearts, the background is a standout.

Ram, this flower is usually taken with a low light for enhancing the beautiful color, with some blue in it. But I like your opposite choice also because shows all the transparencies of the heads of the tortoises and hits the background. I love it.
Cheers.
