This shot really shows a nice cluster Ian. The receding blooms are great. I really like the purple that shows in the blooms. This is a very nice photo.

A lovely photo, Ian. I could wish for a bit better separation between the subject and BG. :smile:

An excellent photo of small flowers that are a very difficult subject to portrait. Bravo Ian!
Take care.

Soft magic Ian. Strong composition, great dof control and overall just a superb presentation. I love the mood and the image.
