Shadows

I thought this plant was interesting but I loved the shadows.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to look and your very kind words.

[Denise]

Oh wow...this is such a crisp shadow on that vibrant green. Awesome shot.

[Karen Sylvia]

Very pretty! Mine is just starting to pop out now also. :)

[Brian Buccigrossi]

Beautiful shot,perfectly titled!

[Marinade Spatula]

Love that 'flower'. Will be growing some in my garden. Will look out for shadows to double the prettiness of this plant.

Margaret, you have had such a graceful presence on 365 for me and have given us some stupendous shots of lions that means whenever I see a lion in the future I am sure to think of you.

[Courtney]

Oh this is wonderful! The plant is pretty, but like you, I like the shadows!

[Devrin Wimberley]

Great eye and capture!

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Pretty flower and terrific shadow!

[Dragonfly Explorer ( Rhoiz )]

Lovely! so pure in white and refreshing in green, nice DOF too.

[Robin Mersh]

Great spot! - the shadow really shows a whole lot more detail of the flower - well done!

[Anne ❀]

Good eye! I like the lighting and the composition. The shadow is so crisp!

[marg]

Yes those shadows make this photo just that little bit more special. Lovely.

[bernadette mcelligott]

Great capture of the shadows, and wonderful and crisp. Is that a 'wedding cake' shrub

[Carolyn Sue]

I love the shadows AND the light!!

[Margaret Tryon]

@cookie123 Bernadette, I don't know what kind of plant it is. This was planted at the zoo. I would call it a foo foo. :-)

[Angie Vega ☮♥ シ]

lovely capture...the lighting and shadows are great

[elkehochban]

Love this foo foo plant, but adore the shadow! Looks like a lace doily!

[Paula Fontanini]

This is gorgeous Margaret .... don't know if I like the plant or it's shadow better. The entire composition is just beautiful!

[Rick Schies]

Indeed, nice capture of the shadows. It is very nice looking.

[robinwarner]

[Della]

[Shirley Chetwynd]

[Melissa]

Good eye! The shadows are really beautiful.

[stephanie dp]

[Charlene Barker]

The shadow on the leaf is perfect

[trude]

beautiful flower, love the shadow too:)

[Trevor Baird]

love this! shadows really make this a standout!

[Cheryl Tharp]

I love the photo and the shadows, also! Too bad no one knows what type plant this is. I looked up "wedding cake tree" and the leaves are not the same as with this plant.

[Susan]

The shadows are great as is the photo.

[Julie Ryan]

what a pretty plant; I love how the flowers are in a circle; and love the shadows too!

[molizard]

love the delicate shadows. Nice shot!

[Bill Dodsworth]

Lovely pic!

[Carol Olejnik]

We gotta stop doing this.. I just looked and took a picture of that very same type of tree in my yard today.. and made a note to myself to find out what the heck kind of flowering tree that is... awesome macro Magz.... and I love the shadows on the leaf..

[Tammy Guth]

Love the composition....AND the shadows! Great job.

[Diana Horn]

Love this plant, especially the circle of white flowers that offset the green.

[Nikkers]

what kind of flower is it? its very pretty with the white against the green.. lovely shot!

[wendy chapman]

I like those shadows too. The bright contrast really allows them to stand out. Well done Maggie.

[Geertje K.]

@luvshorses It's some sort of Hydrengia...

[Geertje K.]

I love the shadows, they make this so interesting! Cool picture!

[Anastasia]

Beautiful!

[Jennifer C]

lovely light and shadows and colour!

[Allison Williams]

You're right; the shadow is delightful. I took pictures of similar plants last Spring and several people told me what it was. Of course i can't remember.

[cynce frantz]

perfect capture! love the shadow it has kind of sweetness to it -- so delicate and pretty.

[Deb]

Now that is the perfect shadow shot...crisp and clear. Of course, if you have shadows then you must have sun...and that means I might be a wee bit jealous of you ! ; )

[Deb]

And...this is a FAV for me ! Once I ever see the sun again, I am going to try to get a crisp, clear shadow shot !

[cglist]

So beautiful - this is such a lovely composition!

[june milner]

the shadow is so sharp . lovely shot.

[Margaret Tryon]

I will check back in at the zoo and find out what type of flower this is. You will all be surprised when they say it is a foo foo plant.

[Tabbycat]

I too love the shadows in this! ..and the curious mix of bloomed and unbloomed buds! Hey, I fiiiinally found some foo foo plants yesterday, but the shots didn't turn out too well :-(

[paula goff]

this is wonderful! love the shadows!

[Emer Hyland]

great shadows on the leaf love the greens too

[Martie H]

This is wonderful foo foo flower, Margaret. I love everything about it- colors, DOF, shadows... Well done!

[K J Buehl]

AHHH! Love the shadow as well! You have so much interest in your shots, Maggie, I am in awe! Love this for all the reasons stated above.

[Kathryn Marshall]

The shadows make this shot special.

[Kd Wallis]

i love how all the white flowers go in a circle together and your right, the shadows are amazing! it was the first thing that caught my eye when i looked at your photo...very nice!

[Mhel]

Gorgeous shot, specially the shadow of the flowers on the leaf..Lovely colours ;)

[Alecio]

I love all the green the shadows and the clarity is great
