Wow - neat bloom on that plant. I like your work with pastels.

What a cool find Kurt! Such delicate work on your part.

I wonder if cropping a bit off the bottom might be good. Losing the horizontal stems at the bottom? But maybe that simplifies the scene too much?

Very nice - the soft look with pastel colors really make this stand out. Nice work.

Thanks, Alan. Had some soft light later in the evening.

Thanks, Jim. Here I wanted to keep the connection between existing flowers and those that have gone to seed. It thought about softening but the hairs have quite a bit of detail. I also tried to take a few images of just the inflorescence. Maybe I'll put one of those on the site........

Thanks, Jameel. I spent a lot of time trying to figure how to put this together and include all the necessary elements. My back and elbows paid the price!!

The seed heads above the flowers is nice.
Thanks for sacrificing your elbows & back........
