Hello Howard !
We have these flower too, in our forest, but here in France they are not open yet, I'll have to wait one more week or two to see them. I like this capture of an old flower, excellent details, nica natural colors, beautiful composition and POV. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hello Howard,
Technically this is a fine shot of a Wild Arum and interesting to see that this is uncropped, a good idea when using such a high ISO. The POV and lighting show the flower at its best, though the composition is food for thought.
Thanks for sharing both this and the good note.
Regards,
Ivan

Hello Howard,

I found this very interesting because I have plant which I have always called lords and ladies but it doesn't look like this! I researched it on the Internet and found there is a plant called Italian Lords and Ladies which has a sort of variegated leaf. Neither of these resembles my flower which has a spotted leaf! I'm going to have to do more research!

The image is nicely defined with excellent details of the 'cradling' leaf. The off-centre composition is spot-on!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
Many thanks for your kind comments on 'Logs can be interesting!'

Hi Howard,
another great documentation of British flora, composed very well with excellent sharp detail and focus. There seems to be little or no noise here, much better than on my 400D at iso 800. Great stuff.

Hello Howard;

A very detailed photo and bio defined not know that this plant completely. A large scientifically very detailed commentary that you provide. Everything perfect. He has sometimes seen by my people a plant similar in structure, but the central part that emerges upwards was yellow. I think I have any photo. The look emn my file and the pubic so you can identify it as a good student that I imagine you are.

A hug

Hello Howard,
Strange looking flower superbly captured. Your great image and note has educated me today, thats fantastic. Smells like carrion, not a great flower to send your wife. Thanks for sharing Howard.
