I call them cuckoo flowers Keith. Their purple veins show beautifully in your picture and the vibrant green centres look beautiful. A very well framed and gorgeous spring shot.

superbe macro

A lovely framed shot

Superb floral close-up.

A lovely detailed plant portrait! We picked them as kids and were disappointed when they wilted so quickly...

Thanks all.............glad you like it..!!

The delicate blue veining is really lovely, Keith. Pretty shot!

small but perfect! how did you do that? perfect depth of field to show this off.

A steady hand Laura..........and and a narrow depth of field. You have to find a flower that has enough distance from the background to make it stand out.

Glad you like it and thank you.

Thank you all for your very kind comments and yellow stars. I'm very grateful that you all took the trouble!

Sieht aus wie Wiesen-Schaumkraut. Eine wunderschöne Aufnahme, Keith! Ich mag die feinen Adern in den Blütenblättern und das weiche Bokeh!

Glad you like it Wilhelm.................thank you for commenting!

Fantastic! That's a great macro. I like it how the small blossoms are shining before the dark background.

Thanks very much Susanne..........you're very generous in your praise :-)
