Description
A clematis from my neighbor's yard. It's just about the most gorgeous, totally covered clematis I've ever seen!
I hope, I hope, I hope this isn't blurry! My eye is still dilated and will be for another week or so, and I honestly can't tell. I'm not fishing ... I just really don't know what it looks like.
But I couldn't miss Carin's birthday! So, Dierbaar, I hope you'll enjoy this image at least for all the love and years of friendship, and if it looks okay, so much the better. :D Lief jou!!
Happy Birthday, Carin!

This is a beautiful picture Tara so you have no need to worry. Carin will love it.
The main flower is so sharp you could cut yourself on the petal! Great gift for Carin! Happy Birthday, Carin!
Tara, That is an exquistite flower and it is very sharp and clear. I love it and I am sure Carin will also love it.
Looks fine to me, glad you are on the mend!

The lighting is so absolutely exquisite in this capture Tara as we do find in all your captures. Wonderful capture and dedication. Happy birthday Carin. exquisite
It looks stunning to me, with that spot of sunlight falling perfectly on the perfectly purple flower. Fantastic shot, and wonderful dedi. And I hope your healing is going well!
Wonderful DOF, and the main subject is sharp as a tack - a lovely photo, Tara, and a beautiful dedication for Carin. Happy Birthday, Carin!

Dearest Tara - the focus is perfect, the flower is perfect and the friend that posted it is perfect! Thank you dearest for the lovely dedication and beautiful wishes. I appreciate your friendship so much and miss you deeply. Hope your eye will heal rapidly! Love and hugs, Cxxx
Marvelous BD dedication, love it!
The most gorgeous purple flower I've ever seen and a gorgeous gift for Carin!!
I have to second 'beachzz' comment - and especially as it is in my favourite colour as well, a simply gorgeous dedication and present for Carin and any 'Gemini Gal' ... the eyes focus directly on to the centre of the flower - lovely! I wish I could do as good a job like yours with my eyes and camera ;)) and I hope and wish you well after your op. Tara. BB
well, as you saw, no one here had any troubles with the "blur" you were afraid of---it's in fact a completely different type of image. There's real clarity on the left-flower, esp in the center (the stamens, I presume). But also in the furrows on half the petals. What you have is a pastiche, a very dramatic (and to me, beautiful) mix of shapes and hues and shadow, which create an almost abstract of patterns, all made from flowers, leaves, lights and shadows. The way the shadow crosses across the front flower is marvelous. And the other bits here---definitely in bokeh---are beautiful 'other' elements of the abstract. It's all bathed in deep dark, with emerging greens and purples---and some whites---like a dramatic underwater-shot of beautiful forms and "presences". It's beautiful. And a beautiful dedi for Carin. I"m only doing 2 images per gallery today, Tara---and I STILL won't get to everyone today!---so I picked up where I left off, here; and I'll get to more of yours soon. But it's great to comment on things I've seen several times, and loved. This is beautiful. (PS---obviously, you've healed since posting this, so I won't say "good luck"! Instead, I'm extremely happy you have healed so well!!!)
