I was amazed by the colours in this pic. The plant looks as if it is crying and there is even a little insect, if you can find it.

Sigma 105mm f/8 at 1/750th sec iso 200.

You may pull me apart but leave the plant alone

It most probably isn't on topic, but with magnificent flora like these, together with Darb's photos from Gt Ocean Rd, how can there NOT be a Creator? There has to be an intelligent designer for this.

Wow, Chris. The first one is great for color, but this one is sublime. I really like the composition of this one. Nicely done.

Love both photos Chris... Your local florist must do well out of you :lol:

I think you've even got a little strand of spider web happening in the bottom right of the first photo...

Chris, beautiful work, I agree that the colours are magnificent, and you have captured them with great skill.

Quite easily Max, but we all need to believe whatever makes us comfortable.

Thanks all - John this flower is in my front garden and yes, there is a spider strand and if you look carefully at the end of the strand there is a body poking out from under the leaf

Are you sure it's a strezlekia(?) and not a TRIFFID????
It's amazing what we see in the garden.

Greg, Greg, Greg, believing in a Creator Designer actually makes me feel uncomfortable at times, but I believe in the need to follow logic eg utterly astounding complexity requires astounding creative genius, not luck or chance. I don't believe in chance but in purpose and reason.

(Again, off topic here but I think interesting anyway...Max)
