Thanks everyone for the comments.
Originally posted by slowpez I like this one Robin. That is a nice lens, sharp and the colors are wonderful. And you managed to post a couple of more while I was typing. I like the bluebottles (are they the same as grape hyacinth?)
Yes, I think their real name is Grape Hyacinth, I just thought they looked like bottles. :-) I do love the colours and have a nice PP workflow that enhances them without this fake colour I dislike.
Originally posted by goddo31 Great shots Robin, that last one really stands out, but I also like the blue bottles a lot
It's the texture and shape that makes them so intriguing, for me.
Originally posted by Tuner571 Very nice shots, my favorite is definitely this first one with all that detail and color. The blue sky really stands out well with the pink of the flowers. The blue flower is also my favorite as it is my favorite color and the greens really pop as well.
We have had some nice weather so it helped with the light and in getting a clear blue sky. I had to crouch down to get that much sky behind the plants, since otherwise there might well have been our street as a background.
Originally posted by ecwoj Great Series Robin! Thanks for sharing. I think the bleeding hearts have a way of fooling you though with the sharpness...they sheen on the petals make them seem softer sometimes than they are.
Yes, the sheen is quite something! And the part at the bottom tip looks almost metallic.
Reality is stranger than any fiction. Especially when you look closely.
