A lavender Clematis at my moms house. I had to take these shots quickly before a nasty tornado producing storm hit.

The sharpness and delicate beauty of the clematis works well with the background. The background makes it feel like a storm is approaching. The broody background and the delicate flower work well together.

Hope the storm wasn't too awful. Like to colors in this & the border goes w/the linear elements in the comp nicely. Well done!

Nice composition, inclulsion of the fence works to ground it. Good detail on the flower. This also might work well in black and white or a sepia tone.

Lovely shade of lavendar and nice DOF. My favourite tool for adding a little pop to a shot like this is a levels adjustment layer. You just move the black and white sliders in from the edges a little at a time and it makes a big difference.

Sometimes the best light for taking pictures here in the midwest is just before or after a storm.
I like that the focus is right on the stamens. I don't know whether increasing saturation would improve this bc I like the soft colors. Maybe a tighter crop right to the edge of the left petals and a tiny bit off the right, maybe to the green line.

I like the contrast of textures of the petals and the center.
Would like to see if a little more contrast would bring this out some more.

Agree w Art on the saturation.

Great detail! Lovely colors! I love that you can see the vines wrapping around the trellis!

Beautiful clematis and your shot frames it so well within the trellis- I like the natural color here.

nicely done. there must have been storms everywhere last night we had a few doosies here in VT as well!

I like this composition, the arbor adds nice lines to contrast with the softer ones of the vine. not sure about more saturation as others have stated, as this is the bloom's natural color but then again, it would emphasize the bloom.

Agree with Art on the saturation, but a nicely composed shot

An excellent capture with great DoF and nice detail and could use a small boost in saturation. Nice job though.

Beautiful flower! The soft lavender is nice and the detail on the center is great!

Very nice...would like to see a version with a bit more saturation. I'm partial to vibrant colors :)

Glad you caught the flowers before the storm.
