Oak Leaf Hydrangea

[Greg Fountain]

Hi folks, been a while. Went to the Huntington yesterday to walk around and see what was in bloom. Unfortunately, the Lotuses and Water Lilies were done, but I did get a few decent shots. Here's one I liked....

Neat! I have never seen this type of hydrangea before and I like your rendition.

 

[Greg Fountain]

Thanks Alan. The Huntington has several varieties along with plants and trees from all over the world. It's really a marvelous place tucked into a massive concrete jungle known as Los Angeles.

This is very nice, I like the composition and the subject isolation is just right.

Welcome back, Greg. This is a beautiful image and the leaves are really unique.

I really like this, such nice soft shadowed light. Great work Greg!

Thanks Ben, Douglas and Jim. The sun came out sooner than I expected (I live closer to the coast and the Huntington is inland) so I had to resort to finding subjects in dappled light.
