Now that is certainly autumnal; I like it. The narrow focus and the softness really work I think.

Welcome back, Rense!

 

[Rense Haveman]

Thanks Pete! Somehow my lamenting in the "Photo block corner" helped, at least for the moment...

The patterns on the right petal are wonderfully captured and a subtle choice of subject and focusing in the whole image.

Stonking come-back, Rense! Bloody amazing!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Almost looks like a heart with blood vessels - wonderful stuff

 

[Rense Haveman]

Ahmad, Rob, Chris, thanks a lot!

Wonderful Rense! It brings back childhood memories as my Mum used to dry these for flower arranging. Really very nice

 

[Paul Lange]

Lovely, I have never seen these in this state before even though they do grow in some of the public gardens around here. What are they called?

 

[Pete Askew]

Physalis alkekengi - the lantern flower. Some varieties produce nice edible fruits inside the lantern.
