Dancing in the Sun

Been shooting a patch of blue anemones ( close to but not actually hepaticas, I believe ) in bright sunlight in the garden of what used to be our local vicarage.

Very beautiful image! I love the flower in the foreground with the oof flowers in the bg. Excellent color, comp, DOF, POF, and bg.

Ian: Great DOF/POF choice and I like the placement of the OOF BG elements. Well seen and captured. >=))>

Beautiful, Ian. The shadows of the stamens on the petals are a nice bonus.

Ian:

A very cheerful image and certainly looks light and airy like a ballerina. Like the support cast in the bg too. The LLC looks a little empty and another ballerina there might balance out the composition more? ...but not sure though.

Very graceful! I like the softness & abundant stamens in focus. No nits.

Hi Ian

Exceptionally well composed, love the very fine light and color, and your choice of DOF & POF

A beauty Ian, Nathan will be jealous. You succeeded in taking a very nice blue even in full sunlight. I love the photo.
