Clematis

[Julie Kenward]

No...this is not my entry! Remember...you can post photos all weekend long but only your post labeled "MMDC:" will be your entry into our Macro/Flora Memorial Day Challenge and you have all weekend (Until Monday night) to post that so post away with our images!

This is one of the clematis that is growing on my fence.

Hi Julie, I like the composition a lot. The stamens don't seem real crisp on my monitor, I tried another round of sharpening but I didn't see much change. - John

John, there's a chance I had one or more of my extension tubes attached that day - that could be why the stamen aren't quite as crisp. I felt like they matched the softness of the petals without being too soft overall so I went ahead and posted it.

Very nice! I like the narrow dof and the subtle colors.

Lovely image - liked the composition a lot - nice and symmetric. Just the apt DOF IMO. Love those whites !

Hey Jules,
Now this one may have tempted me for f32.....strong lines seem to conflict with the soft whites.......still there? Even if the lines go black......strong leading lines!
