[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Red campion (Silene dioica, syn. Melandrium rubrum) is a flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, native throughout central, western and northern Europe, and locally in southern Europe.

It is a herbaceous biennial or perennial plant, with dark pink to red flowers, each 1.8-2.5 cm across. The flowers are unscented. There are five petals which are deeply notched at the end, narrowed at the base and all go into an urn-shaped calyx. It flowers from May to October. The plant grows to 30-90 cm, with branching stems. The deep green leaves are in opposite pairs, simple acute ovate, 3-8 cm long with an untoothed margin; both the leaves and stems of the plant are hairy and slightly sticky. The upper leaves are stalkless. Male and female flowers are born on separate plants, the male with 10 stamens and a 10-veined calyx, the female with 5 styles and a 20-veined calyx. The fruit, produced from July onwards, is an ovoid capsule containing numerous seeds, opening at the apex by 10 teeth which curve back.

Best regards,

Buena composición, encuadre y colores, aunque
con los blancos algo "quemados".

Hi Jurek,
this lovely flowers are well shown in exciting angle. The colors are lovely and its blurry background really make it so pleasant.
The image stands out very well on the canvas.

Foozi

Bonjour Jurek,
Bonne composition et angle de vue intéressant permettant d'apprécier différemment les sujets mais la lumière me parait un peu trop forte et "grille légèrement leurs couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hello Jurek.
I like this beautiful flower against the silenced green background. The light on the delicate petals are beautiful in the frame.
Thanks and kind regards.
