True to my always curious self, I'm wondering what makes the greatest flower pictures. Not unlike birds, I suppose, if you're a flower fanatic they are all technically fantastic shots. However, what should one be aiming for to impress the general public so they take note of something that they aren't really in love with.

One thing I've noticed is that often the really dark blurred background highlights the flower. What about shots of blossoms, etc. I'm impressed with all the shots but clearly some are more worthy than others. Any thoughts anyone?

I really like the complementary colours in this picture. You have a knack with flowers.

What I call, "Queen Anne's Lace". on Silver Star Mountain in SW Washington (state, USA). And Indian Paintbrush in second shot.

The first picture is beautifully taken. I love it.

Thank you very much npdien! Perhaps you might like this one too then...taken same day, same location.

Wild daffodils and blooming apple tree in Beacon Hill Park, Victoria, British Columbia, this past February. 8)

Are you sure this isn't from the set of another Hobbit movie? ...very nice!

Here is another wild Alberta flower. Hard to get a shot without bugs creeping into the picture.

I noted the comment about complimentary colors. Does anyone have a link to a good color chart that illustrates this?

Thanks Click, I'm on my CR break after taking quick shooting break (I just had to visit my swallow family), now back to the grind.

Thanks Riley. No big reds around these days. Not sure why.
