Seen in a neighbour's garden.​

I just edited these in Sigma Photo Pro, which can be surprisingly helpful at times.

There's a fragility to these Rob that is very easy on the eye. Beautiful blossoms against the darker background.
I'm starting to recognize flowers by name now

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Tom. I had to ask my wife what they were. Many years ago she worked in a florist, and often has wished she had never left it.

Beautifully delicate Rob, you are a master of these images. Amazing whites achieved.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian.

Any excuse to go into the neighbours garden hey, Rob. The old "My ball was kicked over" was getting a bit thin was it?

 

[Pete Askew]

I think Tom has nailed the comment about the fragility. Superbly delicate and just the right DoF.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You got me there, Paul Actually. There are a couple of gardens around here which are really amazing. Trying to pluck up the courage to ask the owners if they can let me in with a camera...

Pete - thanks. F/3.2.

 

[Paul Lange]

I know what you mean Rob. There has been a few times where I have wanted to photograph something but not had the balls to ask if I could.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

We are a couple of wimps. Let's get out there!

 

[Paul Lange]

OK but you first.

Apart from the lovely flowers Rob, you are a bunch of whimpers. "It hurts to see a grown man cry!"

There speaks a Norseman!
