P. cinerea Chaix ex Vill.,

Potentilla (pronounced /ˌpoʊtənˈtɪlə/) is the genus of typical cinquefoils, containing about 500 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbs in the rose family Rosaceae. They are generally Holarctic in distribution, though some may even be found in montane biomes of the New Guinea Highlands. Several other "cinquefoils" formerly included here are now separated in distinct genera.

Hello Ferran,
A nice capture of both the leaves and flowers of the Grey Cinquefoil, in Sweden found only in the SE. The POV shows the features well with good sharpness and colours. Looks like they needed rain when you took this.
Thanks and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Bonjour Ferran,
Une image qui présente très artistiquement ces fines Potentilles et leurs feuilles argentées. Une grande finesse de teintes et une excellent cadrage, Très bien vu!
Merci aussi de ta notice utile.
Bon après-midi
Amicalement

M'agraden aquests tipus de fotos on la naturalitat i el realisme són protagonistes; és la part tècnica del teu dilema que encara que de vegades no ho sembli, té més importància, al menys per mi, que l'artístic.
Bonic treball Ferran.

Hi Ferran. You have captured a fine close up of the little bright yellow flower. With the grey leaves. Taken with good detail and natural looking colours. You know your wild plants so well. TFS.
Nick..

Hi Ferran,
excellent view of this yellow flowers. Very special contrast. I like the soft contrast of the leaves.
Well composed presentation.

Hello Ferran,
Je reviens sur TN aprés un long séjour en Afrique du Sud et je trouve cette superbe photo bien nette et avec de jolies couleurs
Personnellement j'aurais décalé le cadrage vers la gauche pour inclure la fleur de profil en entier
Bien cordialement
Albert

Bonjour Ferran,
L'opposition (réussie) entre les feuille et les fleurs est fondamentale dans l'appréciation de la publication.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures
Gérard

Hello Ferran,

another nice pic from an flower in the natural habit.
good pov and beautiful colours.

Gert

Hallo Ferran
A striking image of this beautiful yellow Potentilla captured in its natural surroundings. The petals of the flower appear to be fragile and very thin, almost like tissue paper. The contrast between the grey-green, almost dull leaves and the sunny and bright yellow flowers are great and it compliment each other well. A lovely full framed presentation. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna
