The sunflower is lovely. Nicely lit and composed.

 

[Phil S]

The colour and lighting on the sunflower makes for a good image making the calf a little bland.

 

[CliveH]

Nice cow but the sunflower...nice and different to usual composition and very nice colours.

 

[Allan.H]

Two fab shots - and very different. The lighting give the nod to the flower.

Hi Allan

I think the Sun Flower works better with that bright yellow against the background, the little heffer is a little bit dull in comparison.

Pete

Thanks

two different shots but thanks anyway

It's the flower for me (but I'm a bit of a flower person).

I have noticed Thanks

[Bebop]

That flower shot is beautiful.

 

[gman]

Sunflower for me as well. I love how it is not too bright so the tones feel deeper and helps draw your attention to the wonderfully detailed, although perhaps less celebrated, leaves and stem.

WEEK 26 MOTHER NATURE

[Bebop]

Yes you can't hold her back, eventually she takes over everywhere.

 

[gman]

This reminds me of my grass where there's a small bald patch that for the live of me I can't seem to get new grass to grow, yet I get grass growing out of the strangest and unwanted places!

Nature really does find a way.

We have a patch on our lawn, but we now know that underneath - probably a good 6" or more, there is a manhole cover. The cat got blamed for ages

 

[rpn]

Love it, Allan. Simplicity at its BEST.

[HelenC]

Well spotted. I like the colour contrast of the bright green on the grey background.. it looks so healthy even though growing from the wall.

 

[Phil S]

I like it - the contrasts in colour and texture work well.

 

[Nostromo]

Good contrast of colours. Also, it shows how plants manage to survive/grow in some of the most inhospitable places.

 

[Cloudforest]

That's nice Allan. The bright green looks great against the colour of the wall.

Agree awful stuff grows anywhere, my advice would be to get rid of it as soon as you can it will only get worse.

Like the composition and the wall texture dominate the shot.

Nice composition and processing for Signs. Lots of lovely texture in the walls/
