can look good!

Very nice! The background looks like a kaleidoscope. Very interesting that each petal has exactly five separations on the end.

Yes they have interesting shapes.

I'm not a fan of busy backgrounds, normally. But this just seems to work - I agree it's because of the kaleidoscope effect. Weeds are great subjects, so much more subtle and interesting than their brash garden cultivar cousins.

A very nice weed ... by any other name? J

daacon · 11-18-2014, 05:44 AM

We don't have any weeds like that here very pretty.

**eaglem** · 11-18-2014, 08:00 AM

Thank you all for the kind words.

That is a fantastic image. It makes me think I need a dedicated macro lens...

takis63 · 11-18-2014, 08:13 AM

That's why i too need a dedicated macro lens!

Great picture. Well done!

Wildflowers are great subjects. Don't think of them as weeds, most are native plants - many are important to the ecosystem and great photographic subjects.

Your image is great. Did you use a flash, or is this sunlight?

A seductive weed, indeed. Nice job, EM.
