Description
Columbines are one of the wonderful treats of our spring garden. We have several varieties, but the red columbine has seeded in many places and given us one of it's finest displays in all the years we've had them.
I have been shooting the columbines for weeks, and I am still enchanted by their delicate beauty, their bell-like shape, and the way the evening light plays on their petals.
Processed in Photoshop with several filters and textures to get the look I wanted.
Nikon D810 with Nikon 200mm micro lens.

What a beautiful photograph, Anita! The columbine is one of my favorites flowers and you have captured this one so well. The Red Columbine is hardy in NY, as well and I love seeing them. L/F

ohhh, Anita, this leaves me in awe. Just look at this and feel the light and the sheer beauty of the flower. It's late tonight for me but I had to look and I am glad I did. I saw this. Thank you! Hope you have a good night.
