One of my favorite flower shot of yours. Brilliant !

Really nice, Martin, a perfect shot with great colors and interesting position of the flower. Voted.

The bokeh colours are stunning!

Wow! Thanks Lisa! I'm honored.

Not sure if you already listen, but if not, check out my Podcasts on Photography, especially as you're just getting started. I have six years of episodes in the archives, so there's lots to choose from.

Wow . . . absolutely stunning! I have just started my photography journey and I am finding your pictures to be very inspirational. Thanks for sharing these amazing photos with us. You are extremely talented.

Thanks Brad! I'm lucky in that Japan has a fair few parks that strategically plant flowers like this. I don't see many others doing this kind of work though, so I think I'm certainly capitalizing on what people create for us.

George, thanks for sticking with me, and for liking this shot. Few of my images stay favorites of mine for more than a few years, but this one has. We must have similar tastes.

Thanks Dieter! This was one of my earliest flowerscapes, and remains a favorite of mine too.

I like this most of your flowerscape photos.
...although it is hard to pick a favourite.

I've followed you via your website for a couple of years, and this has always been on of my favorites.

All the "water colour" shots are wonderful. It should encourage us all to take advantage of the simple beauty around us and work to create amazing images from fairly common subjects. Inspirational work (as always).
