Uwe and Angus - those are great.

Here are some dead flower shots (apologies to anyone who's seen them on the M9 thread).

Taken with the M9 and the 75 'cron.

Lovely flowers everyone. A bit early here for flowers so just some leaves for now and in the case of this False Hellebore the blossom is rather anticlimactic.

Carl - I love your shot.
Bart - that's beautiful - love the pink and blue in the background.

We're in Cornwall at the present, so, of course, the Camelias in the garden have just died

Knorp - Beautifully framed shot and gorgeous color. False Hellebore is a different genus (Veratrum viride) and yes I've been re-working the shot.

Jono - Luscious color in those blossoms.

Not sure if this qualifies as a 'flower shot' but I like it a lot.
Took this in bright sunlight and had to prevent blowing the highlights, hence the underexposed look. But this way the flowers really pop !

Kind regards.

Carl, Knorp, Veronica...all beautiful...keep them coming.

Knorp, Thank you. I am really drawn to tulips and these are stunning.

Splendid shots all - just found this one from last month - I missed it at the time, but rather like it:

Jono, Gorgeous. I like the contrast of brown paper against the bright tulips. It is a very interesting composition.

Both are beautiful Bart, but I am really drawn to the composition and delicate colors of the second one. The little red buds are icing on the cake.
