António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal

It's a good photo but Clematis is a much better one.

28 Jun 2008 10:05am

@António Pires: Thaniks for sharing your preference. I find it fascinating that different people prefer different photos. I don't know which I prefer. I have another photo like this one, but using a smaller aperture, so the petals are more in focus. Again, I don't know which I prefer.

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France

Fantastic details... good and original macro of this clematis' heart.Lovely color of the petals on background... congratulations, Anita.

Marcie from United States

Beautiful color! I don't think I've seen clematis as deeply colored as this.

28 Jun 2008 7:16pm

@Marcie: I may have saturated it to look more blue than in real life. I'm not just trying to reproduce flowers, but to bring out their beauty.

nice shot , vivid colors with interesting contrast .

@Saeed: Thank you!

David from Bryn Mawr, United States

I had the same reactions as Kerri and Betty -- so it's the way you saturated the photo that gave the tendrils that inner glow and the almost psychedelic background. Interesting how the impact on the viewer changes with its size (thumbnail vs. regular image) -- I wonder how a wall poster would have affected me in my college days.

GJC from Kyoto, Japan

Magnificent view. The colors are superb, as everyone has already said, but I like the composition as well.
