Beautiful Denise! I like the two darker areas on the top and lower left but the small one right on the edge of the frame on the right side pulls my eye...why I have no idea. Lovely choice of DOF - it is almost floating and I like the way the front OOF stamen blend right in - you don't even notice them. Excellent! ;)

Hi Denise, Really like the lines and colors, when I look at this my eye starts at the center of the image and flows towards the edges out of the frame which is different and interesting.

Hi Denise, The details, colors, and DOF make this a very lovely image. :)

Ditto Julie, this is a very lovely image, soft and i like the colors. Really nice.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

Hi denise....Very nicely done and HH....wow!

Lovely image. This is one beautiful Clematis. I like the detail in the center, and the softer look of the rest of the stamen. There is a tiny dark area on one of the left stamen just below half way down that distracts me, though it is a very minor issue.

Bob and Anita thank you for your comments.
Anita, That really doesn't bother me but thank you for pointing it out.:)
