This plant is an allium gone to seed. I loved the texture of this plant and couldn't wait to get my hands on photographing it!

Amazing detail and no clutter. I love the composition, with the exact half of the flower on the left, and everything else radiating to the right. Curious about what kind of plant this is now.

Starry Eyed Surprise

The lines and the stuff at the end of the lines have great impact, love the soft mood (aperture choice).

Wow - now that's a macro! :-) Beautiful focus, DOF, and tones. Not crazy about the border, but that's small potatos with an image this good.

This is something that is nice to hang on your wall ... big like 100x100 cm!
