Description
The lines in the center of the flower made me think of landing lights. They're directional beacons for bees, I suppose. "This way to the good stuff!"
:)
These were in a planting bed at Snoqualmie Falls.

so beautiful .. I love pansys
Beautiful flower and imagination...
How funny, I have almost exactly the same shot in my recent files...I think the same thing, though perhaps a bit more lewd since flowers tend to involve mobile critters in their reproductive affairs. Great work on this though, the pollen is sharp and easily seen, the colors are subtle but distinct. This is an all-around great shot!
Wonderful use of lighting, maybe the reason why bees can not resist landing.
I have about 50 of these all vibrant colours in my new front garden .Really brightens things up :o)..Hope all is well with you Tara . Mick
Beautiful flower and colors, excellent capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot about this! It reminds me that you capture flowers without regard for making them 'pretty', but to capture their personality, their light, their furrows, their nature, each one a different portrait. I remember this one because it glowed, because it fanned out like it were presenting itself to us (which makes me realize for the first time that you do "flower portraits" as if you captured them in a studio, not for commercial purposes but for art purposes; this flower has a personality & you got it "on film," a genuine portrait in my eyes—that's a compliment, not a comparison to commercial portrait houses). And also, the silken texture of the outer petals, and the sense of light lurking behind them. (Something to do with the separation between petal above & petal below.) A beautiful shot, and about as close to a flower "looking" at us as one can get in a picture. beautiful.
