Yun;
Love the simplicity of this composition and how the white seem to flow from the top lc to the bottom rc so effortlessly. Good management of the white. I see a lot of these in a park near me but they are all purple rather than white.

Great point of focus & use of F/8 Yun, excellent light and details.
The greens of the BG contrast the whites nicely too.
I especially like the comp with the flowers running from corner to corner diagonally.
Well done!
Post script: These are generally the same tiny ground-cover flowers we have here in Texas, and in my recent bee flight shot. Looks like a different variation though..

This is excellent! I love the way the flowers flow down diagonally through the frame! Also, your DOF choice is lovely. This is the best Oxalis image I have seen!

Hello Yun This is beautifully composed !! The flowing and climbing sublime white Oxalis against the soft green leaves, makes a perfect presentation

I love oxalis ( sometimes, I know, regarded as weeds ! ) and these are particularly lovely examples, photographed beautifully. The composition is perfect, Yun, with its falling ( or rising ? ) rhythm of flowers embedded in their protective greenery.

Such a lovely image of one of my favorites. Yun, these are Oxalis, or Shamrocks, in bloom. In Washington State they carpet the forest floor, particularly in rain forest areas. The ones that grow wild have rounded leaves. Congratulations. I just love the graceful curving array of the flowers and how pristine they look in their whites dress in this light.
