Today we had the opportunity to visit an old friend in the vicinity... a single O. purpurea....which we discovered a few years ago.
Always a pleasure to see it back in full bloom - like visiting an old friend on their birthday.

Image made with Nikon and Sigma 150mm macro. 

On reflection I could have added a bit more headspace.

Thanks for stopping by, C&C welcome.

Lovely flower, nice soft light - I agree about needing more open space on the top, but a fine image all the same.

Hi

A nice shot that it has been a pleasure to view - personally I think you could have had a bit more room all round, not just head - but as I said a fine image


All the best
Matthew

Yes, its a bit tight in the frame but a beautiful shot with very nicely done selective focus and lovely to see!
