Hi Pablo

Another very beautiful and original composition from you!
The contrast here between this lovely flower and the BG is amazing and simply superb and all the tones and colors here are most charming.
The shallow DOF works very well and the exposure is spot-on.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Pablo,
This is a very special composition!
I like so much your POV and the composition made here, with this radial inflorescence.
It's very good the color contrast with the dark background, it stands out all the beauty of the flowers.
DOF was very appropiate with this blurred and soft background got. I agree with you in the beauty of the greens.
I like also the small insect like a bonus, and the presentation used.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

hi pablo
cela ressemble a une bombe de feux d'artifice,
une bonne netteté sur le coeur mais je pense qu'un peu plus de profondeur aurait donné un bon resultat aussi.

Preciosas florecillas en forma de paraguas.
Buenos detalles Pablo.

Hello Pablo,
C'est très bien fait,J'aime bien le fond d'un vert foncé, qui sert de support à la fleur.
Les contrastes sont bien réalisés.

Hi Pablo,
wonderful howe this "flower" emerges from the OOF BG and than spreds out so beautiful. Excellent POV, looking down at the plant you captured a lot of detail. The DOF is very nice also, it makes this composition special.

Hello Pablo,
techicnally they are wild flowers though , most "weeds" are right? :o) This looks like queen annes lace that we have here in all the fields, but also can buy them in wild flower catalogs! It looks like spring and I like it. ( we got snow this morning!) TFS

Hello Pablo,
Uless I missed out any of your pictures so far, I believe this is your first flower study, and as wonderful as any of your distinguished landscapes.
The caption "Beaming" is very apt with both the literal and figurative associations fully in place. Whereas the long stems growing out the same apex give the sense of beams supporting the clusters of flowers at each end, the aspect of the flowers as a whole is so cheerful that the composition seems to be beaming with a sense of joy and happiness!
Thanks for sharing a different and very beautiful picture this time.

Hello Pablo,
Beautiful sharp and well-composed capture of an umbelliferous flower with excellent contrasting BG. Normally these flowers attract a lot of insects but the lonely fly looks good!

Hi Pablo,
I agree that the many shades and hues of green are beautiful.
But the geometry of the flowers, and the control on the DOF, show some nice camera work. Looks good!

Hi Pablo,
I don't care if people call it a weed. We say in Holland, that what you don't want to have in your garden is a weed everything else is a beautiful plant or flower.
The different shades of green are beautiful and so are the little flower and the amazing depth. A very simple powerfull composition where the little insect makes the photo even more interesting.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Pablo

Some weeds are beautiful, I never understand why one thing is regarded as a beautiful flower and one as a weed. The greens are wonderful and the DOF in this picture is superb. Nicely done

Hello Pablo !
Even if this flowermay be considered as a weed, it is very beautiful, I love its shape. And you have captured it very nicely, with excellent details and DOF, wonderful natural colors, beautiful composiion and a nice blurred BG which makes your subject stand out very nicely. Well done !
Valerie.

Hi Pablo,
if it flowers it is a flower and this photo is one.The thing is people are trained early in their lives to see "certain" things as beautiful and others as not.I wasn't trained to see nature in anyway particular(credit goes to my parents) and as a result if I like it,then that is alright.Nature is not perfect and nor am I and so is your picture.You take what you can get and run with it,pure and simple so no need for apologies;things in the real world just do not care.This looks like wild dillweed and if it is ,it is a useful plant indeed.Your capture of it is very good,so there is nothing I can add or say to make it better.Tfs.

Hello Pablo,
This looks like Cow Parsley or Caraway, but there are so many in this Carrot family so it's hard to tell. Anyway, your capture is very beautiful showing the lovely umbrella shape with the little bunches of flowers. Very nice POV and composition.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

hello Pablo

this is a excellent picture :
the radial symetry of the plant and the contrast between the colours of it and BG make a nice photo

the orange insect of the left side is spot of interest

Hello Pablo!
It's a very popular big "flower" for Bulgarian mountains too. Similar nature engenders similar flora.
Nice sparkle-like composition due to the shallow dof.

Hi Pablo. Your eye & lens can make a weed look like a piece of art, as this indeed does appear. Good DOF control. TFS. Murray.

'Allo Pablo,

When I moved to Nova Scotia some one and a half decades ago I was told by some locals that they knew the names of these flowers. When I solicited the details I was told: "Ditch Flowers"... So there you have it , straight from the "Herbarium Vulgaris for Nova Scotia"...

Some other wisecrackers define a weed as "A flower in the wrong place"... I personally dont know how a flower can ever be in the wrong place,,, so as a collective I call 'em Wild Flowers...

I agree; nice GREEN. Tfs, Jay

PS Have YOU found the ID yet??? I would love to know the name for sure. I have a suggestion: could it be Zizia Aurea [ common golden alexanders, golden alexanders, golden zizia ] ?

Hi Pablo, the various greens do make for a subtle contrast in this shot. It's well executed with good use of your depth of field. The bee is an interesting little detail. Because of the colour difference it really stands out.

Thanks, John

Hi Pablo,
It is perfect mastery to portray very ordinary things as an object of art. This shot is an exemplary example. Simply outstanding shot with amazing sharpness, spot-on focus and lovely colours. Excellent POV and the BG seems so special highlighting the subject perfectly. Oh......I can see a tiny fly too. Very majestically composed. Kudos.

Hello Pablo,
Of course it's an umbel of delicate greenish white flowers. Perhaps some Heracleum sp. Beautiful picture with nicely blurred BG.
