[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Due to the pressure of work and a power supply blowing on my main computer I've not been able to post any recent photos, so I thought I would have a trawl through the archives.

This photo was taken on a wonderful trip to Crete a couple of years ago. We were driving up the steep and winding road to the Rouvas forest, when we saw our first Cretan arums (Arum creticum). Unlike many arum species the bright yellow spathe does not give off an unpleasant smell.

Taken with polarising filter.

Hola amigo,
bonito trabajo y encuadre,
atractivo pov y dof.
saludos Steve.

Bonjour Steve
Très belle espèce et magnifique spécimen. Le choix de la focale courte est très intéressant et permet d'apprécier le milieu environnant. La lumière est bien dosée et le polarisant apporte du contraste et du relief. J'aime beaucoup ce cliché.

Bonjour Steve,
Très agréable publication présentant bien le sujet dans son environnement mais un cadrage plus serré aurait peut-être permis de le valoriser davantage par la l'appréciation de la finesse des détails et de la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hello Steve,
Very nice presentation of this Arum in its natural environement. The arums of Lesbos island were not yet in blossom when I was there. But theys looks as big as yours, but with differents leaves. Best regards,
Catherine
