A lovely capture of these flowers.
Nicely placed and composed. The colours and lighting are very good.

Hi Gerard,
First of all, thank you very much for your kind words on my recent picture.
Your image of these flowers is beautiful. That such a common weed can grow such lovely flowers is something amazing.
I like your POV which places the flowers against the blue sky.
Thanks for sharing the picture and warm regards.

Oh, j'adore ces couleurs, Pitoncle, c'est remarquable et tellement beau! Le pov par le dessous crée une composition équilibrée et simple. Quelles couleurs vives et le bleu du ciel si estival, merci pour cette photo, c'est très réussi! Bye bye!
