Love in a mist 3

This has been the star of the show over the last 2 days. It has been quite windy here so the challenge has been even greater trying to capture a moving target.

Terrific to see the whole flower in this photo and magnificent to get such a clear one in the wind.

You have done well to get so much in focus - something I struggle with despite trying different focal lengths. It always seems to be windy when I try to take close ups of flowers too!

[Casablanca]

Love in a mist is a gorgeous plant

A beautiful blue flower amidst the thorns. I know about the wind as the photos I've been posting the last 3 days were all taken on a windy day.

Nice focus… it is always challenging to shoot flowers when they are blowing around!

[Susan Wakely]

@k9photo amazingly the bits that look like thorns are very soft and certainly not prickly.

[Lisa Brown]

a great shot showing contrasts of the delicate flower and the sharp pointy bits

[Bill]

Nice picture.
