White Hellebore

Large clumps of hellebores flourished here this Spring - tried here to suggest something of their scale; the pinks and purples in the bg are hellebores too.

Ian, I appreciate your decision of taking a selective focus rather then a fully blurred background so we can observe also the environment.
We have a white hellebore in our garden and it blooms every year at the end of February for the different clima.
Take care.

I like the BG with its pinks/purples, and the subject coming in from the top corner on diagonal.
Sharp focus at the flowers center, nice light!

So well done Ian. Beautiful color, strong comp, warm light, very fine dof decision. I'd be hard pressed to imagine an image more evocative of June and early summer. Just superb...

Ian: Spectacular isolation of the main subject and a superb result. Frame filling fantastic.>=))>
