Great detail and light Stephen. I might be tempted to fill in the white in the lower corner with green, but not a deal breaker in my opinion.

Foxglove are a challenging subject, Stephen, in my experience anyway. I have yet to personally take a foxglove image I like, and I grow them in my garden! Good job here with the close-up comp and getting such a nice sharp view of the inside of the close bloom. I like it.

Thanks Scott :) I agree with you, regarding foxglove being a touch subject. This is one of many and the only image worth posting. The way they grow, up the stem, make the blooms hard to compose.

Thank you for the kind feedback :)

Stephen
A very difficult subject to compose. Like your POV here. Still amazed that you could get the hair so sharp with this PS camera.
