Purple Clematis

Oh my god. I love close up pictures, and this is definitely no exception. This is absolutely gorgeous, you can see the flower clearly, perfectly clear. Then the leaves get blurry, and it gets blurrier and blurrier as it goes into the background. Even the tip of the closest petal is a bit blurry, with the center perfectly in focus.
Pictures like this take time to take, as if it's even a bit out of focus it makes the entire thing look off-kilter. But this, this was done exceptionally well. And I'm not just saying that because I love close up pictures of nature, I'm saying that because it's true.
If you don't have the patience to take them, then it will never turn out right. This was done perfectly! You must have the patience of a god.

Anywho.

This was well-taken, but the little bit of unnatural background bugs me (personal opinion). The flower itself is beautiful, and I've never seen anything like it. But flowers are quite the popular thing to take close-ups of (even though I take them myself, this is just a critique _{don't hate me plz}).

But anyways, I personally love this. ^-^ Great work! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
