@Erik: I thought about plucking them off before I took this imagge, but sometimes I like to just shoot it as it is, and here it is in all it's natural beauty. Thanks for your comments Erik!
Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
How elegant! Beautiful composition and depth. I believe that to be the lovely Lavender???

@Linerberry: Tis indeed Liners, thanks for the lovely comment, the vibrant purple was really like this on the day, maybe because it was overcast and the variety of it, it made it worth being out in the cold! Thanks for stopping by.

Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
Cela dois sentir très bon, de les respirer leurs arôme... Ta mise au point n'est pas évidente vu la densité de fleurs.

@Siam: L'odeur de la lavande était ainsi le beau Siam, j'ai inhalé l'odeur apaisante profondément car elle est l'une de mes fleurs préférées. Merci pour la visite !
Eric Fry from Houston, TX, United States
Very well done, Kylie. I especially like the muted background tones which make the blooms really pop! I can almost smell them.

Love the shot... bokeh is great... though I will be honest in how I hate the smell of Lavender... though when I do smell it, it reminds me of my nana and that is something I loved dearly - so, it makes it all the more sweeter..

Kylie, this is simply stunning! The depth of field is excellent and sets a very painterly background to showcase the flowers. Brilliant!

What a stunning image, Kylie. The out of focus flowers and stems are an important element here. Beautifully done.
