Blåsippa, Liverleaf, Hepatica nobilis Schreb
It a very common flower in the south part of Sweden but you can sometimes find it in the north part. It’s the first “wild “flower together with coltsfoot you can see in the spring.
Snowdrops and crocus will be earlier but they are cultivated or had run wild in Sweden.
Liverleaf is blooming from April-May sometimes it starts in March.

This is the first I found this year, as you see it is blooming under the last year leaves.
I used my little Canon S1 IS for this beauty. It works well with this kind of pictures, the DOF is very good compare to DSLR at the same aperture.


Technique:
Canon Powershot S1 IS

Very nice image Gert,
Good composition, wonderful colours and details.
Thanks for posting

Hi Gert, the brown of the leaves work well in contrast with the flower.
Nicely composed, good perspective and nice clarity of detail. Well presented work as usual.

I didn't see this kind of flower in Poland. But BG with dried leaves is very similiar to my shots of flowers. Superb POV and light! Saturated colours, excellent details. Beautifull dish receiving sun waves :-) Great post Gert!

Great pov, well chosen. The colours are so pretty, and the contrast between this beautiful flower and the dead leaves is fantastic.
Thank you for posting.

Beautiful capture with wonderful colours - we get only the white variety here ;-))
As Julia said, the contrast with the dry leaves is stunning. Great sharpness and DOF.

bienvu!!
le cadre est superbement bien défini...
well done gerts

Very pretty macro. Good sharpness and colours. I have the similar flower in my portfolio.

The depth of field, regardless if is natural or computer enhanced, is quite good. Very thick, fleshy depth of field in the foreground on the leaf and flower gives it a very natural ,, I wanna grab it,, feeling to it ...

Perfect DOF and contrast. The flower is really eye catching against the dried leaves. Very good picture.

The blue flower contrasts nicely with the dead leaves.

Hello Gert,

What a beautiful picture! This out of your normal range eh? Well done! Superb colors (the contrast between the purple and the brown is great), great POV & DOF and very well composed. :) TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Foto perfeita em minha opinião. O contraste da beleza viva da flor com o rústico das folhas secas ficou excelente. Bela macro.
Parabens.

Just trying and failing to catch up with every-bodies images but this one caught my eye, it is a stunning little flower, especially against the brown of last years oak leaves, really bounces the blueout of the screen. TFS

The contrasts are amazing. The flowers really stands out. Impressive flower Gert. I love this composition. Did you arrange the leaves or was it your lucky day? Impressive work.
