Very well captured. The leaves are stunningly sharp. Is this a 100mm macro lens?
sometimes they co-operate, sometimes not. You got lucky.

Best viewed large to get the perspective. It brings the colours into life. Managed the shadows without loosing the highlights. Clever stuff.
I like it very much. Thanks for showing this to us.

Spooky, Jaromir. Not sure how this was done but very effective in black and white.
Could you give us some detail, please. Where taken and at what time of day/night.
When something as clever as this is shown, we want to have a go ourselves. One of the real blessings of the Gallery is that it fires the imagination.
regards Thoramay

For me, and I stress, for me, this lovely picture could be improved with a crop just above the light bracket.
The tile canopy falls to the left and conflicts with the straight lines of the main shot.
Any conflict with straight lines bothers me. I know it is me, so please don't accept this as acritism of the picture. Viewed large this is a cracking shot.

My humour must be missing, Don't get the title, I'm afraid, but I do appreciate the picture.

So often there is humour in shop displays, if we stop and look for it. Often difficult to capture through glass and the usual stream of passing people.
Expertly done and effective in B&W.
Congrats.

Symmetry. Always capable of catching the eye and not always easy to capture but this is well done.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Ahhhh! Does this remin me of something..Not quite sure what. Did we ever hold hands in those far off days in the very infrequent times we were allowed out without someone to watch our every move.
Very evocative Romance. It lifts the soul.
Thanks for sharing.

Cannot see the leaves, Cliff, but my guess is that this is the wild Garlic flower. Should have short broad leaves if it is.
Never got my 300mm to produce shots like this. You clever people make me feel so inadequate...but what the heck! We all have our abilities and it is great to be challenged.

A simple arrangement letting the flowers shine. The background sets the flowers off nicely.
The tulips this year have been amazing. I have black ones that are still blooming when all the other colours are now gone.
Tried taking pics of the black ones but I could not hold the detail without blowing the highlights. Never mind!
regards thoramay.
