Thought the title/name was "Latin Hydrangea"..


Good good DOF, and composition.

Don't know if it is coincidence or not (referencing another photo of yours ... namely; "Wild Flowers"), however ... got the diagonal division of lighted and shadowed areas happening once again.

Which.. I like and enjoy. (Adds that lil' something something.. in terms of visual interest.)


Caveats?

This is really me nit picking here.

Bottom left petal's position over that of a brighter background area/spot. Easily remedied (or ignored, for that matter) by some Cloning or use of the Burn tool to take it down some.

That nonsense of mine aside..


Challenging bloom to compose. And you done did well.

Annnd..

Can tell that there was some aforethought before depressing the shutter button.

Nice one.

And but of course, thank you for sharing this take on these lovelies with us. :o)

Maria - You have captured the beauty of these unusual hydrangeas with a nice side angle, showing the water droplets in the soft lighting. Well done! Thad

Love the angle you captured these beautiful Hydrangea's at. Pleasant color contrasts too. Beautifully captured, Maria.
