Hi Francine!

Your picture is superb, the flower just beautiful. I like the pastel colours and the sensual shapes very much. But your picture and the notes have another value: they show us, once more, that the problems and troubles in nature are caused by the humans...

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Francine, My neighbor. For a moment I thought it was orchid. But reading the note it is different. The colors are beautiful. Lovely tones and the the buds openingup is having a superb effect here. Ganesh

Hello Francine
it's an elegant composition for this Himalayan Balsam, with fine details, very soft colors and great sharpness.
Very interesting the soft background and the leaf position on the left giving more depth to thi great shot.

Hello Francine,

You have made a fine photo with a sensible composition. Colors are delicate and there is a pleasent contrast between flower and leaf. You have mentioned very well that this plant can be invasive. I saw it aslo in my region growing in the wild, on significant areas.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hola Francine,
ya tengo ganas de fotografiar alguna vez una Impatiens al natural, pero aún no lo he conseguido. No sabía de la problemática que está creando al ser una planta invasora. Sea como fuere, la captaste muy bien y con el foco donde corresponde, en el centro. Buen trabajo.
Saludos: Josep Ignasi.

Bonjour Francine,
La composition est superbe avec cette partie de feuille (que pour ma part j'aurais stupidement cherché à supprimer) tu crées une formidable opposition évitant la platitude d'un sujet isolé tout en permettant d'apprécier la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hi Francine.
First of all thanks for your kindness and decision to mark me as favorite TN-member. It is great honor for me. These days I worked hardly preparing to business trip (I will go tomorrow morning) and could not visit TN.

I like this art shot so much. Pictured subject is selected perfectly. Both nice leaf and charming flower create a wonderful composition. Fine BG strengthens the impression a lot. Exposure, lights and colours are wonderful as well as combination of sharpness and smoothness. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.

Hi Francine,

A beautiful image, nice composition and color, with sharp detail. I wasn't aware that there was an exotic, invasive species of Impatiens, so I've learned something too. While it's certainly attractive, I hope it doesn't make it to my neck of the woods, we have enough problems with invasive plant species here already. :-)

Thanks,
John
