A beautiful flower my Friend. The detail is great and the color is really brilliant and clear. I like the focus and placement in relationship to the shadow as well.
Susanne - this is a delight to view. The vibrant purple of the clematis is so lovely and you have captured such wonderful detail. I like the light and shadow effect. On my desktop :)
