I think it looks very nice against the background. Well done.
Beautiful
I love the combination of the background and the flower. I do not believe I have seen a sweat pea for a long time... this is nice....it reminds me of my ex-MIL who loves them as much as the violets...very, very nice shot. What lens did you use for this?
Hi Neville,
That is a nice combination of colours that works better than might be expected if you describe them as "purple and orange"
I have two ideas I would consider if it were mine:
a) Clone out that bright bloom in lower right corner, since it the attracts viewer's attention
OR
b) Crop off everything from (and including) the 'stringer' downwards, so we only have the bloom to concentrate on
It might be argued, especially for the 'florally challenged' (such as myself), that the stringer helps us identify it as a Sweet Pea though, so I think I favour a).
I hope that's useful, Dave (and I like it anyway, nice detail)
PS Izzie; the lens is given in the info below the image (Tamron 28-300 PZD at 300mm)
Good colours in this one Neville

Many thanks for that Izzie. As you probably saw in Dave's post, I normally detail the camera, lens and settings immediately under the image. Lens in this case was a Tamron 28-300 PZD, my latest aquisition and one which pleases me greatly as a relatively light but versatile and sharp walk-around lens on my Df.
Thanks also to Jim, Binnur and Grahame for your kind comments.
