The sunsets are beautiful and with a bit of melancholy for the day that dies.

D700, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/19 and ISO 280

Thanks for comments and advices.

Gigi - Another great frame :cool: - I particularly like the use of light which has crated some rim lighting, some backlighting etc. The milky background nicely highlights the blooms which form an implied arc (almost).

While its not a deal breaker or even a critique per se, wonder if showing a bit more of the base would have strengthened the photo (or not).

I like the soft, pastel feel of this. And f/19 has done its work.

Gigi, very lovely take on a sometimes plain flower. Comp, light, etc., are perfect. No nits, good as is!

Gigi:

Exceptional image :toast:

The only issue I have is the flower looks quite happy and the image does not evoke any sadness for me :confused: :biggrin:

Love the gentle blues of the flowers against the blue wash in the background and how the greens parts stand out so nicely amongst the blues. Well done.

Such an artistic look to this. As is the case with most of your work, Gigi. I love the soft quality of this. :toast:
