I appreciate it very much. :) @Curly: Thank you, Curly! I must say, it surprised me while I was preparing it for posting. The purple and green combination has been a favorite since playing with childhood blocks of various colors. That was of course several previous lifetimes ago. ;) @franz: I'll post more of these, a closer look. :) Thanks for your comments! @mimicy: Thanks! Thanks for your visit and comment.

I do appreciate hearing specifics of the goods and the bads of the images. And your are welcome in turn! :) I found your images and the commentary very thought-provoking and interesting. @Julie L. Brown: Thanks Julie! I appreciate the comment. I think it was the color at first that caught me, too, then those bracts! @Anina Botes: Thanks, Anina!! The composition was a bit of an experiment for me. @Othersideblue: Thank you, Kerman. Nice to see you here, thanks for the visit and the very lovely comment, very much appreciated! @Don: There will be more images of this plant, eventually. It has proved very sturdy and reliable in my yard. The bees and butterflies love it, too. @Marcie: Thanks, Marcie!! I personally love greens and purples together. The colors worked out surprisingly well in this image. @Nilla´s photo shoots: Those white spots do look like frost. I was surprised by them, also. It is, I suspect, the way the light was striking the somewhat hairy surface of the bracts that created those intense highlights. :) @DULCIE: Thank you so much, Dulcie! I am pleased you like this one. The off-center was a bit of experiment for me. I was raised with the idea of symmetry, but I am learning! ;) @Anita: Thanks! |
