Hello David,
Love the electric blue on this plant. Wonderful selective focus with a nicely blurred background gives a very nice impression. Well done. Regards,
Hakan

Hi David,
So clear capture!
I like so much the crisp and sharp details got here.
And the cycle of this flowers is so short...we can see the death ones at the bottom, the open ones at the middle and the bootoms at top...al in the same inflorescence!
Magnificent the DOF use here, and the composition is very good.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

A beautiful presentation of these hyacinth flowers going through different stages of development and decay on a single stalk, David.
Very artistic composition.

Fantastic scilla and very good photo. Good focus, details and BG> Bravo. Best regards, Cezar T.

Maravillosa presentación. El fondo es estupendo y no distrae paranada la vista de la planta y sus "mini" flores que se abren alrededor.
Preciosa flor David.
Saludos, JL.

Maravillosa flor David,
excelentes detalles y color estupendo, bello pov, saludos

Hello David!
What an interesting and beautiful flower :) I really like the blue colour, and as you well known it is not very often seen in the wild. Details of this flower ae really impresive, you used a focus very good here.
Many thanks for showing this picture,
Greetings, Radomir

Hi Dave,
A fantastic presentation of this beautiful flower.
Nice to see all stages of the flowers - would be also nice to see a close up of one flower - maybe you take a walk back to the woods for us?

It will be about 2-3 months before we see the "Blue Squill" here -- I lvoe the way they take over the lawns for a while. Do you have the white ones as well?
superb composition

Bonjour David,
Très beau cliché pour cette magnifique espèce, rare et protégée dans mon pays. Les couleurs sont naturelles, l'ensemble de l'inflorescence est nette est se détache bien de l'arrière plan.
Salutations,
Hervé
