I. Love. This. Macro! Such detail and depth of field! And it kinda helps that my favorite color is purple. :-) Highest compliment possible: added to my favs list!
For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
From Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
This is so beautiful, Cornelius, and the colors are knockout! The dof is perfect too. I imagine this is a huge bloom and very tall. I would love some in my garden too.
Spectacular camera work on this shot, Cornelius. The detail is extraordinary, and the background couldn't be better. By far the best flower shot of Foofy Friday.
Now to the real matter at hand. What the deal with YOUR WIFE'S garden. First they get the vote, and then they get their own garden. I'm shocked, appalled and outraged. :-)
Cornelius - Allium are showy flowers that photograph beautifully. From the point of view, looking down, you have used the garden greenery beautifully for the background. Thad
