Clematis

Posted by
Harry (Apex, NC, United States) on 1 May 2019 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

My wife is growing on a wire trellis by our deck. I was walking around trying to frame it without showing any of the support or background (except its own leaves). I got this, then afterward noticed the opening bud on the left edge. I went back to try to include the bud more centrally, but I lost the light plus couldn't get a better angle. This is barely touched as straight from the camera.

That's a beautiful shot of a magnificent blue bloom, great against the green of the foliage.

It's interesting how often unexpected things occur in even the most considered compositions :)

Splendid rich color in this clematis! So pristine and symmetrical, it must have just bloomed.

Even without the light you may have wished for... it's a lovely, delicate blossom - and I like that it's filled the frame with its rich color.
