Trollius Chinensis "Golden Queen"

great photo...

Thank you Elsiemay.

The flower is beautiful and the way you have captured it is quite magical.

It's also quite a long lasting flower Camillia.
Thanks for the nice comment on the photo too - when photographing flowers using the flash we have to accept that some shadows are unavoidable. So what I thought was that I could use the shadows to "loose" the flowers stem and make it look as if it was floating - it took three shots before it was totally successful. This is one of Sue's favourite plants of the year, and so I wanted a really good shot to frame for her!

wow, that is one nice picture.

Thank you Alex!!

You did very very good considering the hang over......

I took this Saturday night - the hangover was gone by then!

aha.

Thank you Homebird.

Beautiful pic Meanie...love it!!

Thank you Motinot!

Wow, Meanie spectacular photo!!! I love it. What kind of camera are you using?

It's just a Nikon D40 Tasty, nothing flash. As I said to Camillia, shadows are inevitable, so I thought that I could use them to make it "float". One of those instances where things came together!

great photo...

Thank you Nannymargaret!

seems as if you are on photography too.

I enjoy it Camillia.
