Hello Anne,
Nice to see you as a neighbour today! This is a wonderful capture of these lovely Alpine flowers that look gorgeous against the dark background. Excellent sharpness and wonderful pale colours. I notice in my flora they're also called 'Pelzenanemone'in German which seems very fitting!
Many thanks and have a nice weekend, Ulla

Hi Anne,
Beautiful flowers and you have captured them magnificently. Great light and shadow effect and I like the way it pops out from the darkish BG. Very neat and sharp image with perfect POV and DOF. Superb composition.
TFS.

Bonsoir Anne,
A beautiful play of light in this fine portrait of the flowers Pulsatilla vernalis. The lighting is superb to bring these out against the dark Bg.
They grow on sandy soils in the southern half of Sweden but they are not common.
Thanks for delighting us with this fine capture.
Bonne soirée,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Wow! Qu'elle superbe photo! La brillance et les détails sont vraiment impressionnants. Tu as choisi une excellente composition et le fond noir les fait ressortir à merveille!Je crois que c'est la première fois que je vois ces fleurs. Bravo!
Claudine

hello Anne
very beautiful soft composition
i like the colours
good light
greeting lou

interresting point of view, TFS Ori

Liebe Anne,
einen kurzen Moment lang dachte ich schon: Die ersten Frühlingsblumen in der Schweiz!
Noch halb verblüht im späten Frühjahr sehen sie herrlich frisch aus, die Kuhschellen hoch oben auf der Moosalp.
Sehr stimmungsvolles, fast dramatisches Chiaroscuro in bildschön ausgewogener Komposition - wie gemalt von Caravaggio.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Salut Anne
Excellen te composition.Bon PDV et image bien en focus.Les details et le jeux de lumiere sont exceptionelle.
Merci Michel

Hi Anna,
es ist mein großer Wunsch mal eine Kuhschelle "life" zu sehen, glaubs oder glaubs nicht, ich hab' sie bislang nur auf Bildern gesehen. Keine Ahnung wo ich die hier in meinem Umkreis finden könnte ...
Deine sind wundervoll. So feenhaft, wie aus dem Märchen. Ich muss mich unbedingt in diesem Sommer mal auf die Berge "quälen" - bin ein wenig faul zum Bersteigen - außerdem wird man in unseren bayerischen Bergen schon bald totgetreten, so ein Ansturm ...
Mal sehen ...
Viele Grüße

Bonjour Anne,
What a beautiful image! Your perspective to the flower with the lighting was perfect to capture all the finer detail of this beautiful flower. Excellent DoF to draw the viewers eye to the bulb and away from the background.
Great shot...

Hi Anne,
sorry Im late too. These few days I was so busy with tasks to be completed, so much so that I missed to see the TN.
Thanks for your critique. As for this flower shot, it is such a lovely and softly rendered.
Great sharpness with thairy looks well seen in detail. what I really like is its emergence out of the dark background. Nice play of light and excellent attractive presentatin that makes viewers like it vewry much.

Regards,
Foozi

Hi Anne, fascinating couple of lovely flowers, fantastic light and wonderful colors, very well done, have a good Sunday, ciao Silvio

Ciao Anne,
hai "giocato" con le forme e i colori di questi splendidi anemoni primaverili, utilizzando perfettamente la luce ci hai regalato un'immagine di straordinaria bellezza.
TFS. Buona serata.

Hi Anne
I think it is the lighting in this composition that takes the cake.This is almost like an abstarct painting of the flower couple.The colours are neautral and little OOF stalks of the bend cups of flowers creates a connect to the BG.The flowers are in fine focus,clarity and sharpness.The direct frontal PoV highlight the work excellently.
The hint of purple on the back of the petals and the dark BG adds further to the beauty of the composotion
TFS and
My compliments,
Silpa

Bestimmt bin ich mal achtlos daran vorbeigelaufen. Schöne Nahaufnahme, die Haare sehen in dem Licht sehr gut aus.
Viele Grüße,
Achim
