Now that name is a mouthful Ivan. A tongue twister. I have often wondered about "Lapland", as to more information due to my wife's direct heritage from Finland. Her grandmother and grandfather came over to the US, so Jane is 2nd generation. And she speaks Finnish well!
You have a hard subject to image there. Dark stem pieces and off-white flowers. You managed to get the whites with fairly good exposure. In fact the concentration for me is more on the stems/branches. Their colours are intriguing both in pattern and deeper colours. The information and image are quite new to me, so at least on this side it is a fine lesson...and as per usual, I pass along thanks to you and your lovely wife for all of your super contributions such as this!

Hello Ivan
If this picture was taken in frustration then maybe you should try and get a little more frustrated at times!!..I will even try this technique myself!!
The details are perfectly sharp and clear on the Lapland Lousewort and also show what a fine set up you have in the 400d and 300mm f4 combined with a 1.4 convertor which combined with your eye and photographic skills always produce exemplary captures.
I do hope this capture recieves a little more attention as it richly deserves it.
A good week ahead to you
Paul

Ho, the beautiful creatures, they look like mini elves! I love the oof row of flowers, leading to the sharp one. I love their pose in the moss, it is amazing how beautiful and unuasual these plants are. Thank you Ivan, it is perfect, technically and artistically.

Hi(=merhaba) my dear (=sevgili) friend (=dost) Ivan:)
A nice subject changing again! Great close up shot of these beautiful flowers. I noticed that you also prefered the shallow DOF to create a 3-D effect in this shot like my applications:) I love this shot. TFS.
Cheers,

Bayram

Hi Ivan,

It is so wonderful to be introduced to these pretty flowers. There are apparently many beautiful plants in Lapland and now way I would see them otherwise. I love the yellow and cream colors and the shapes of the flower - most unusual looking. Colors, details and composition are of your always top quality. They stand out from the blurred background very well.

Hi Ivan,
seeing the beauty next to us is a good way of venting frustration, indeed. I like this look on typical vegetation that reminds me a lot of what I could see in the barren highlands of the Alps at around 2500m above sea level a few days ago, and I also enjoyed looking at all those tiny flowering plants, moss, lichen, fighting against the elements there.
You seem to have enjoyed your trip following Linné's path.
With thanks, and all my best wishes.
Peter
