This is great Ron. I just took some pictures of the purple Lupens and will be posting them in a couple of days. They are such a pretty wildflower. I saw some pink ones today and will try and get to the spot tomorrow to snap a few pictures.

Interesting composition - you put the main subject (the flowers) in the background and focus on the green ... well done!

What a wonderful effect you've created with your choice of focus! I just love the vibrant green against that bright violet.

Selective focus is fantastic, leaving the purple flowers in the background as a colorful, abstract backdrop to the tender leaves in front.

Wonderful shot - really well done to put the purple color as background and keep the green as the point of focus. The colors are great.....

Beautiful contrast with the deep blue on the background. Ce sont des lupins que l'on voit au fond....

I can see by the thumbnails that i've missed some wonderful images, but I'm too afraid to check them out atm, as my new computer keeps freezing! but I'm so glad I got to see this one, it's georgous, a perfect colour combo, with wonderful dof.

That is so sharp and the purple behind makes a wonderful background. It makes the green pop.
