These trumpet shaped purple flowers are about 2-3 inches long and about an inch across the flared end that I've shot here at about 1X. They hang in bunches of around six to ten, with the open ends facing down. This particular blossom isn't fully mature, which is why I chose it. They wither and fall apart quickly in just a few days.

The eyes are immediately drawn to the center of the flower, as it is so very well photographed. But then, when the feast there is done, the journey is further enjoyed as the focus of the petals stands out and beckons a longer stay.

Great shot, Russ.

Lovin' the colour palette within frame. Clarity and focus are great. As is, the composition.


On the note of your sig/name?

Think you blended it well and it is placed appropriately in frame.

Thank you Joy and everyone else who stopped by to sign the guestbook.

It's a great feeling when I stumble on to an interesting shot & bring it home to share.

Finding a prospective subject and getting the variables right for the picture is still a challenge.
