Filigree

Thanks Sylvia, I love your florals and your passion flowers in particular!

Beautiful Jan! wonderful treatment and shadows!!

Ah, you know, I’ve wanted to do something with these for ages, but I’ve never found one of them in as nice condition as this. A lovely thing beautifully captured.

Richard, they grow in my garden and are nice and orange at the moment. Over the winter they turn into skeletons and I find them blown into corners in the garden.
If you are ever in the South West give me a shout, I’ll save you some.

what a lovely and creative shot!

wonderful color and lighting. Looks very fragil, but wonderful shot my friend

stunning composition Jan! the shadow is just amazing!

Very beautiful compo..luvit!!

Beautiful!

Great use of light and shadow.

Stunning

This is beautiful, the only b&w of your series, I am curious to see it color.

The tones and light here is just stunning, just my kind of art. Keep it up :)

Fantastic image, I love the reflection and shadowing. Nice work!

So delicate, a truly beautiful capture Jan.

this is really beautiful

Amazing work…

Wonderful image Jan

Thanks Sophie!

Lovely

I like the lighting and detail of this!!

great composition!!

Filigree is a perfect description! This is beautiful. I have similar plants in my garden producing these skeleton-like pods. Initially they have an edible berry inside which has hundreds of seeds. I know them as Cape Gooseberries.

I am very envious of this shot. I love the shadow/reflection!

How lovely :) Love the shadow too ..

Very creative and clever! A brilliant image.

Perfect!

not sure if all hosts will agree, but you may want to try this group

welcome to the group, jan. the shadows on the sides which are cutting the negative space up are what are making me unsure; the rest is perfect for the group. i will have the other host make the call on this one. (you can delete these comments if you wish :)

how wonderful…love the shadow too…woah!

Stunning capture – beautiful light and shadows!

You have some amazing shots! This one is fantastic!

I love this plant; I’ve seen the skeletons around the area where I live, but have never grown it myself. This is one of my favorite images of yours!

Congratulations on your win! Really a great photo!

The lightness and delicacy of this image is beautiful. I feel I will break it if I breathe too hard…and then it will splinter in my throat. I can’t help but react to this photograph and that is what it’s all about for me…interaction between viewer and image. This has it in bucketloads!
Congrats on a well deserved win.

Fabulous artistic work, Jan.
Congratulations !

Wow this is so delicate. Lucky you for being able to photograph them at your disposal! I have been looking at these lanterns for some time now and this is one of the nicest captures i have seen :) Well done.

Aw that would be lovely although would they not get crushed in transit? I think I will just have to admire them from a far and possible buy a print in the future :) Or I could buy some from my local supermarket and wait for them to die? haha.

Well Done!!!

Hey this is so delicate thats what i see I thought it was a perfume bottle or a lamp shade

Irrisistabley delicate

This is truly a beautiful photo! It’s almost gorgeous enough to reconsider growing Chinese Lanterns – whom I’m finding a bit too obnoxious in the garden – again. Well done.

I love this one – the delicacy and lighting are beautiful !!

that is absolutely gorgeous!! :]

Lovely delicate shape, backlighting works great :)

They grow in our garden as well and I love their delicate shape. Lovely soft light and shadows, it is wonderful how you composed this beautiful photograph Jan. It is poetic :)))
