At the same time, the white sap and other parts of the plant are used as a native herbal medicine, the sap to treat infected wounds, the roots to treat a variety of illnesses including leprosy, malaria, snake bite.
It is amazing, beautiful shot.

Hi Peter.
What a nice composition you have created. Softness of paints, lines and light transitions simply shakes. Combination of sharpness and blurriness are amazing. Great artistic and elegant work. Bravo.

Hello Peter,
I remember this plant as a common weed in Rajsthan which no one paid any attention to, incuding the cattle. But you have turned it into an object of incomparable beauty through this lovely picture. The colours are so rich and delicate at the same time. The overall composition is just magnificent.
Thanks for sharing this great picture you took in the sandy dunes of Pushkar.

Hallo Peter,

This is a very sophisticated presentation. Your notes are most than interesting and well written and this picture is just wonderful; feels like looking at a painting… Those soft tones of colors, details and DOF make it magical :) This is a great picture; congratulations,

Nice image Peter, good color. I might suggest a slightly smaller f/stop to keep the primary flower in sharp focus. Perhaps use the healing tool to reduce the more prominent spots in the background.

"Smiling to your camera"
These little flowers are so beautiful and with your shot you show to us everything. We can also see them as baby's to the left, as young to the BG and how they are when they grow.
Excellent Peter
TFS and see you

What glorious colours and shapes on this interesting plant!

I esp. like the gentle colours, the focus on the open flower, and the fading away of the rest. Very nice compo. Wunderbar.
Tfs, Jay

PS How did you manage to get a shot in India? Did you leave your beloved Alps? ;)
