The Queen Anne's lace or Wild carrot as we call it is beautiful in all its stadia. This one has not opened its flowers yet. What you can see here is the one red flower in the middle. That seems to be ther to attract insects.

Super elegant! It seems there is a yellowish cast, but it gives it a more antique look & is not necessarily a bad thing!

Very beautiful photo. Natural lighting is well controlled and the DOF is very nice. I like your focus on the tiny buds, with the stems, blurring off into the background.

Ellen - This is absolutely stunning. Great idea for a square crop, awesome DOF and a clean background. Could not have asked for anything better.

Your shallow focus and detail are wonderful in this composition Ellen. Great work in my opinion.

Ellen, one must open the thumbnail of this image for appreciating all its beauty. Very delicate, with all half colors in harmony.
Take care.
