I found small blue anemones hiding among the low lying plants of the garden where I took this shot this Spring.

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200 @ 171, 1/1250 @ f 5.6, - 1.67ev, ISO 500

A beautiful little flower! I like the shades of green in the bg and the wash of purple in the ULC. Very nice!

A beautiful and very delicate image, Ian. The contrast and light on the anemone are just perfect, and the blurred background works very well to draw attention to it. Lovely!!

A very lovely and delicate composition. It has detail where it counts. I am on the fence about the blue OOF in the ULC. :smile:

Love this flower and how it's peeking out through the surrounding greens. The soft touch of purple above adds very nicely to the context here, Ian. It's a warm and inviting peek into this garden.
