Liquid Sunshine

[Julie Kenward]

I managed to photograph this right down at eye level with other flowers directly behind it, making the BG a sea of undulating yellow.

Really nicely done Julie. I especially like how the in focus fg leads into photo and all bg is oof. One of the nicest jobs on yellows I have seen. A tad brighter, I'm not sure. Well done. Dave

Beautiful Julie. I love how the curved foreground petal bases are sharply in focus.

[Richard Lovison]

That's beautiful Jules. I love the slight tilt to the right, the detail in the center of the flower and the luminance of the yellow. Well done.

Nice image! Great detail in just the right area, blurred elsewhere. Surrounding the center with yellow works nicely to highlight it.

[Thomas Herou]

Perfect dof and a very good composition and colours.
I like it!

Very nice image jules, the image has a nice flow of yellow with a strong point of interest.
