Hiding from the sun

You can probably tell that I lived through the Flower Power years.

After Birddog's place, i reckon your garden is the second most photographed garden in the state.

Great colours. Purple, pink and white. All complimentary.

Lovely shot Chris. Soft, muted, genteel.

Not sure how much I love this one Chris. That dying thing on the bottom just doesn't add to the photo and I find the leaves on top of the photo a little distracting too. A tighter frame and even less depth of field would do this pic wonders as I love the light and colors of the subject. I was surprised at myself for not loving this pic as generally they are so meticulously crafted and composed. This one just doesn't have that same perfected feel to it like your other stuff does.

Chris, I prefer your other flower post.

I think it is because, although quite well photographed, there are a couple of flowers here that seem to be a bit past their best.

I listen and also learn. I have cropped and increased the saturation.

I like this version much better. You could have cropped in a little tighter but now I'm nagging...
