Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 25 June 2008 in Plant & Nature.
This Clematis grows up the side of my garage. Isn't it lovely?
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

The yellow stems over the violet (purple?) leaves are a beautiful combination. The arrangement, or composition, and the lightness/contrast are superb.

Stunning, Anita ... the color combination is gorgeous and the deep DOF is just right to show off the beauty throughout the image.

Great choices (magnification, composition, subject) that allow one to enjoy the clematis in a new way -- usually my eye is dominated by the petals and missing all the beauty and energy of the central cluster. Only after I lived with it for a bit, did I appreciate how you've captured the varying textures in the petals and stamen (?).
