Excellent pics, Cliff.  As always!!  I think that autumn 4 and Tart2 look like I'd imagine a viewing during an acid trip would.  Psychedeli, Man!!  :-X

Cliff, 2 and 4 are my choice. The acid yellow of the aeonium flowers against the strong deep blue is a good combination. And the 'hand of god' lighting in number 4 is wonderful, a bit of masking for emphasis?

Many thanks folks ... all the images were captured in Portugal ... did you spot the datura blooming behind the aeonium, Paddy?  I don't really like masking but sometimes the image cries out for it!   :D

Magnificent pictures Cliff! I love the backlight on the poppy. It gives such a nice delicate papery effect.

As the weather is not so nice like yesterday I found some more time to play a little with pictures.
Here are two more but comparing to your pics rather amateurishly  ;)

Only now that you have pointed it out to me. Looks good.

Hi all,
I took this photo  of Kalanchoe Kewesis a few years ago without paying much attention to the Agave Stricta in the background-I was pleasantly surprised by the result-looks like a starburst behind the flower. (or am I just being fanciful ?)
good growing, James

this is a really nice one, james--kalanchoes do have lovely flowers; this is a species? the agave provided a great background..
