Macro closeup at the tip of a foxglove.
I like this for the increasing geometric progression of its similar parts. Hope you like it too.

Hi Howard--I like the gradual transition from white to total green. .........................Jim

That is really interesting. It feels like a timelapse of a flower opening going top to bottom. Actually...I scrolled the window up and down and it really gives that effect. Definitely like it.

Love the symmetry, great details, and the subtle arch, Howard. They're very well coordinated with the background.

You've got a wonderful talent and artistic flare all your own Howard and I really enjoy viewing your work. This is a perfect example of your charming style and a perfect post for this WC.
Sweet . . .

This is really sweet, Howard. Love the top to bottom clarity, the subtle arch, and of course, the green. Very artistic and very well presented.

Beautiful image Howard. Very nice capture of a clean and perfect specimen. I like the off-center comp and plain background. Nicely done!

I really like the geometry of this as you have pointed out Howard. Kind of has a slghtly skewed Eiffel Tower feel to it. Nice one.

just catching up on the WP's while I was gone - this is terrific. Love the perspective and the graduated sizes.
Congrats on the WP!
