Title: Clematis portraits
Post by: Bob_B on August 17, 2018, 10:06:56 am

I've been enjoying this clematis as it started to bloom a week ago. Here are three portraits of this handsome flower. C&C welcomed. Thanks for viewing. - Bob

I like these a lot more than your previous set. They are sharp where they need to be, the colors are vivid and the blacks are well distributed. If you look closely at your previous set you will see some of the flowers are soft. But not these.

Thank you JNB_Rare and John R. FWIW, these photos were taken with a 100 mm macro, extension tube, and macro rail (for stacking).
