26th - Purple Fingers

Cheltenham, Glos.

The remains of one of the poppies in the garden - they may have lost their glorious rich red leaves but they can still pull a photographic crowd!!


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Super tight macro! Impressive natural geometry.

Excellent close-up look at the final moments of this spectacular flower. You are right. It is still interesting and beautiful! Well done.

This is stunning, Doug!! I have tried, but failed, to take similar photos. I think this is brilliant! VOTE

Good work

I thought it was a starfish, still not sure what it is.Must be very bright if you need to get that F58 lens out the bag. What happened to the exif ? Makes a great close up anyways
