A simple composition using a rather large Clematis Flower (Nelly Moser variety).

ND300s, AFD 200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/16, 1/30 Sec, ISO400, Diffuser and Tripod.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Backlit Leaf and let me know what you think of this one.

This is a very cool shot Ram! I like the comp and the detail clearly showing the pollen. Nice color palette and light too.

Simple but beautiful, Ram! I like your shallow DOF with the focus on the ends of the stamens. Beautiful colors and lighting. Clematis are such photogenic flowers IMO.

As nice a clematis abstract as I can recall, Ram. So difficult to get the centres to behave in a comp - this works beautifully for me, with the varying degrees of sharpness and blur.

An interesting comp for a clematis Ram. I like the colors and the details. I think I would rather see a tad more center and a bit less leaf - though the different comp makes this a refreshing shot.

I do like the flow in this, maybe because I see more and overlapping petals in it, again the soft pastel colors are beautiful and I really enjoy the composition.

Another masterful selection of dof, Ram. I like this one a bit more than your more recent post of same flower/concept.

Splendid capture, if a bit creepy almost feels like a spider slithering into the frame. Well done & lovely colors *& DOF.
