A cool capture, the FG flowers really remind me of popcorn. I'm a bit undecided about the dark BG and I'm guessing you had to crop it a fair amount. There seems to be some noise in the large version. Love the low POV. Thanks for posting it.

Yep, sure looks like popcorn to me, too. Beautiful image of this colorful species. Nice BG to set it off as well. Good comp and exposure.

Excellent capture of this beautiful Painted Lady, Graham. Good detail on the bf, and I like the smooth, dark green bg.

Beautifully sharp image. Is this bf eating popcorn?
