Common Pasque Flower

Excellent. A well balanced composition. I particularly like the precise DOF, keeping the attention on the blossom, while still providing enough detail of the unopened blossom.

Hi Cay-Uwe, we have a very similar flower here in Saskatchewan which blooms in our spring.  I am always looking for ways to photograph it.  I really like the composition and depth of field you used here.  Excellent work.

Hi  Cay-Uwe    I love your  choice of  DOF.  and the soft colors     the is a  beautiful  artistic  interpretation of the  pasque flower

This is a tough one to photograph and you did very well with your technique.  I'd like to see a little tighter composition, but you can't change the results of plant growth.  The coloration of the flower is ideal and the soft BG helps put some interest in the subject.  Well done......................Jim

Excellent job on the flower, Cay-Uwe.  The compsoition seems to me to be a bit too dominated by the twin buds above the flower.  You don't mention what focal length you were at when you shot this, but if you could have gone down in focal lengeth and moved closer to the main subject, in might have balanced the image a bit more.  I do like having at least one oof bud in the bg as it adds a nice feel and a good indication of the earlier stages of the flower.

Cay-Uwe: Great to have you posting in Flora again - it seems like a long time. Really good DOF command of the main subject. I really like the low POV as well. Top notch image. >=))>

I love the portrait of the flower in the forground and the emotive backgound. Excellent work for me.

Hi  Cay-Uwe    Congrats on  a well deserved  WP
