Gorgeous display of columbines in a local public garden this year but a bit tricky to compose - a shot from the early summer.

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 161mm, 1/320 sec @ f9, ISO 400

A very nice grouping of blooms. Nice inclusion of some of the buds. Nice use of DOF Ian.

Hello Jan. Another beautiful flora photo with your signature, yellow and blue (almost).
Take care.

Ian - They can be tough to shoot - they grow in groups and isolation is tough and they grow close to the ground to compound the problem.

I think you did well. I like the upward looking bloom and the complementary colors.

Very nice Ian. Great job finding a simple and clean background to offset the grouping of flowers. Good choice of dof. Works nicely.

I really like your composition here, Ian. You have captured the intricate structure of the flowers very well. The background and light complement the subject perfectly. :toast:
