Having submitted a very heavily modified photograph of a Clematis Arabella for this week's competition, I thought that I would try my hand at a macro shot of the same species.

Agree with Anvh, very good work.

The flower is very central - why all the space on the left? Also (being picky) the petal touches the green leaf in the background.

I see Stefan has been on one of his 'reply to ancient unanswered posts' journeys again

It's a nice shot. A bit too central as Mike has noted, and I would have preferred it slightly sharper around the centre of the flower.

The post is almost two years old too, I have a theory that Stefan is one of several people using the same account, they take it in turns to man the forum 24hours a day

The question for Belinda is, what do you think of this image now that you have another couple of years experience

No there is only one of me

My grandpa is in the hospital this week an I haven't been able to put my mind at ease so yeah I wander the internet then and I thought I might do something useful then

It's sometime so strange some shots gets no comment at all how good they might be.
There are some other great shots in the past but they member hasn't come online recently so didn't comment on them.
