This is 'exotic' but is it arty?

I agree with Cliff, Fred, the light is wonderful on your image picking out every curve and nuance  :D

Hope there will be more rediscovered images, Cliff, it's hard to choose a favourite but when I saw the 'Meadow' image I thought 'Wow!'

Potentilla nitida rubra is gorgeous in its natural habitat - would love to grow it one day.....

Yes, particularly as there is no stem holding it up.  Are you into levitation now?  ;D

Ah, I was trying to work out how you'd affixed it to a background to photograph it.... didn't think of the editing out of said background.  Looks effective!!

Cliff, to have 3 things in perfect focus in a Macro in you Green fly image is an art in itself  ;D

Great Macro of Phyteuma too - a mad design don't you think?  8)
