Nice on black.

Lovely picture, beautiful words

[Anne]

The brightness of the colour of this lovely flower is so well set off by the darker background, great focus and lighting make for a satisfying shot. The words fit so well to the image and are a pertinent reminder

@fbailey Thanks so much! Glad you liked the quote too!

[CC Folk]

@365anne Thank you Anne. The flower looked so vibrant, it almost didn't look real to me. I didn't edit, change the color or process this other than soften the flower a bit. I had my iPhone on depth effect for the blurry background of the fence. I am glad you enjoyed the quote too.

[Sarah]

Wonderful contrast of colour. I just wondered how it would look if you cropped the top slightly.

[Peter Dulis]

love it ...

@sarahlth I would be fine in cropping it. I mostly fill the frame and/or center the subject so I was trying a bit of that negative space style. :)

[Taffy]

Lovely flower and I do like the way it fills the frame.

[Suzanne]

Lovely bright flower, I like how you've positioned it

[Cathy Donohoue]

Lovely flower and color.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Lovely shot

[Helen Jane]

Some interesting thoughts to illustrate the bright flower raising its head.

[Michelle]

Beautiful colour 😊

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@suzanne234 Thank you, Suzanne. I appreciate that. It isn't my usual way of framing but I thought I would give it a try.

[CC Folk]

@jessikapanteleios Many thanks, Jessika! I was happy with this one! :)

@photobird @ribbet9 @olivetreeann @wendyfrost Many thanks to you all. I loved seeing this wild flower growing by the side of the road and against a fence. Thank goodness for depth effect on my iPhone. It makes all the difference, otherwise this is exactly what I saw.

Nice photo. Leave it to Rumi. He was a wise guy. Wasn't he. Always love the poems you choose to share. How do you find them?

[CC Folk]

@mbrutus Thank you. I do collect quotes and have a library of books. I also find some online, which you may not want to do since our computer is now infected with a Trojan virus. :(
