Lovely series, I really love the perspective and DOF in the first shot. Rose of Sharon. Haven't seen one of those in years - since I lived in New York.

Four greatly captured and presented shots. The texture of the rose in the first shot is so waxy looking it appears to be candy. I like that shot a lot and have never seen a Rose of Sharon.

Color, perspective, composition. These are all well done. Did I leave out focus? Oh, that's right, the focus is on the family. Hope they'll be home soon. We'll just have to be replacement family for the next few days.

Thank you, I understood they are tough to establish but the neighbour's have that figured out...

Wonderful Set Ian! I really like the 2nd one, the contrast of the flower against the Sky. The rose of Sharon is beautiful as well. Another Great presentation.
Thanks for Sharing these

Great DOF in the first one and third pics. Love the POV in the second one. And the colours are great in the fourth photo. A very nice set. Thanks for sharing.
