Did you know that the meaning of the anemone flower is "forsaken" and also "a dying hope".

A delicate and soft balance created by this image with the tiniest of shadows. Its a shame such a beautiful flower could conjure up such a sad meaning. An interesting narrative.

Great work! The exposure and depth of field are both perfect. The arrangement of blossom and background add interest to a simple composition.

No, I didn't know that until now, Ewa and thank you for adding that to your wonderful, clear, concise and simply beautiful post.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Yes, knowing the meaning of the flower's name brought special meaning to the way you presented this one. very artistically done.

A most beautiful presentation of this lovely flower. It does look a bit lonely so its name suits it well. Lovely work.
