[Dave]

Good day, friends.

No new photos from me, so here's an old one (between 10 and 20 years ago) that I've never posted before...

Well done Dave! The BG color works well with the subject!

A white Aggie's Pants. Agapanthus nickname locally at least, is Aggie's Pants.

Nicely captured agains the dark greens.

Thanks, gentlemen.

When I stumbled across this old photo the other day...

1) I immediately saw that the values were good (and IMO that's the most important thing to get right).
2) I think the white petals and vibrant greens of the flower were very nice. And I managed to avoid over-sharpening them.
3) I think the background works well - dark enough to establish the plant as the COI, and with enough visible detail to add interest.

And green is my favorite color!
