[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Caltha palustris commonly known as Kingcup or Marsh Marigold belongs to the Ranunculaceae (buttercup family). It is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It grows in wet, boggy places, such as marshes, fens, ditches and wet woods.
The plant is a herbaceous perennial growing to 80 cm tall. The leaves are rounded to kidney-shaped, 3-20 cm across, with a bluntly serrated margin and a thick, waxy texture. Stems are hollow. The flowers are yellow, 2-5 cm diameter, with 4-9 (mostly 5) petaloid sepals and many yellow stamens; they are borne in early spring to late summer. (Wikipedia)
--------------------------------------------------------
Le populage des marais (Caltha palustris) est une plante herbacée vivace de la famille des Renonculacées.
C'est une plante robuste, en touffe, aux feuilles glabres, en forme de cœur, dentées, les inférieures longuement pétiolées. Les tiges sont en partie rampantes avec des racines adventices aux nœuds. Les fleurs assez grosses sont d'un jaune d'or vif.
C'est une plante de lumière à mi-ombre des prairies humides, marécages, fossés et bois frais. Néanmoins suite aux drainages et endiguements, les zones humides ont fortement régressé en Europe de l'Ouest, entraînant la disparition d'une partie des populations de Caltha palustris. Localement c'est la dystrophisation des milieux qui porte préjudice à cette espèce. (Wikipedia)

Wonderful colour and sharpness. Amazing POV.Regards. Carme.

Bellissima composizione con un punto di ripresa che esalta le linee verticali degli steli e la linea orizzontale formata dai petali, buona nitidezza, molto belli i colori e la luminosità. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio
