Cowslip

We're spending a few days with friends in the Charente Maritime area and to blow away the cobwebs of 3+ hours in the car, we all went for a walk with the two golden retrievers, Bebop and Buddy.
Along the verges of the little lane we walked along, I found masses of Cowslips... and my picture for today!

Gorgeous and I love this against the black background!

So this is what a Cow Slip looks like. Great photo of the flower.

Hi Richard very nice. did you use a ring flash to get the black background?

[Helen Michelle D]

This would look great on the wall!

[Rachel]

Beautiful composition, light and contrast, great shot

[Gill W]

This is stunning, Richard - love it especially against the black, really makes the yellow look so vibrant!

[Pete Roberts]

Lovely Richard. Just so you know Alison and I are in Budapest until Friday evening.

[Christine]

Looks good on black

[Richard Sayer]

@pjr Oh, wonderful - have a great time in Budapest both of you, and I look forward to seeing the pictures.

[Richard Sayer]

@tosee Alas no, the combination of a very muddy lane, which I would have had to have laid down in to get my shot, plus a high wind making the flowers dance, meant that I brought a flower stem back to the house to photograph. The lighting is a LED torch.

Don't know that I've ever seen a cowslip before. They are lovely.

[Ian Watts]

Beautiful shot Richard - fantastic.

[Lee]

I was about to ask the same question as @tosee, but you've answered that. The LED light has worked well. Nice image.

Fav. A beautiful capture of this cowslip. It really stands out against the black background. Katharine

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Love the yellow against the black background -- great pop of color!

[Jocasta]

Love the lighting - the LED has the look of a very bright sunny day.

[Shelley]

Pretty!
