Solomon's Seal

[Anita Bower]

A native that is growing and expanding under my maple tree. The buds are little and inconspicuous, underneath the leaves.
I used both Topaz Detail and Simplify (underpainting), which seems strange now that I think about it. A texture "Mother's Mixing Bowl" by Coffee Shop.

This is very bright and cheerful. The arching stem and leaves with the buds below is wonderful. Whether the colors in the background are from other plants, the texture, or a combination of the two, they're a pleasing addition.

Thanks. The bg colors are mostly other plants.

Interesting image, textures make the image, love the position of the leaves and buds in the frame.

Saw this beautiful image on facebook. Very lovely in the soft shades of spring greens, with the very elegant arching stem and the delicate blossoms hanging down. As always Anita, well seen and processed in your special way! (Your flowers images are often my inspiration!)

Thank you so much for this lovely comment. :-)

I agree with Paul, great placement of the buds within the frame. Very lovely composition, I wonder about darkening the leaf in the ULC just a bit, my eye seems to keep going there.

I like the composition with the graceful arc of the stem and the positioning of the buds. The soft greens speak of spring.

Thank you all. Good suggestion, Jackie.
