nice one, greetings Ori

Hello Shir,
I like plants from Labiatae because for the first view the flowers are a little similar to ochrids :)
PIcture is nice composed and showing in natural way the beauty of these flowers. Not every singiel flower is in the focus and because of that only 2 of them are really sharp but in my opinion it is not a problem. I would even say that this is very good :)
I like colourds and sharpness of this picture too, and the note which is professional and brings a lot of interesting facts about this plant species.
TFS and have a nice day,
Radomir

Hello Shir,

A very nice composition, I like the flowers against the dark background, very dramatic and shows off the colors nicely. Good exposure and focus too.

Thanks,
John
