Description I keep thinking that maybe these are Black Eyed Susans but...I'm not sure. Thoughts? I think they look a little like shuttlecocks in badminton.

I think they were wilting...unless it's a different variety of that type of flower that looks like that at its peak...but not sure.

These would make a great flag for Sweden. Love the vibrant yellow. Beautiful!

Thank you! Does Sweden use these colors or these shapes?

rk2901 In reply to amarand [2006-07-30 10:53:42 +0000 UTC]

Welcome! Sweden uses the colors, actually its flag looks like [link] similar to the flags of Denmark, Norway and England, among others (but with different colors).

Oh cool! Yeah, I guess it's a very common shape?

rk2901 In reply to amarand [2006-07-30 14:01:23 +0000 UTC]

I think so, although the significance may be more than that. *heads for wikipedia*

lnagel [2006-07-28 18:20:43 +0000 UTC]

You're cutting the flowers a bit, which is not good.. also the background should be uniform - at least I find those trees very disturbing, because they unbalance the photo and they do not fit in...

amarand In reply to lnagel [2006-07-28 20:54:16 +0000 UTC]

Awww, I thought they added a little bit of color. But, yeah...it kinda bothers me a little bit too. I'll probably go back and reshoot this vertical some sunny blue day...and see how close I can get. Thanks for the critique!

Hmm, it's a pity that we see just the top of the flower, for me, it's like it was cut..

But the shoot looks good however !

amarand In reply to Ptit-Panda [2006-07-28 20:20:35 +0000 UTC]

Hmm...it's a shame I didn't take any vertical orientation shots.

AmethystLightning In reply to amarand [2006-07-29 13:55:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah some people who call them "birdies" would be all confused

"Shuttlecock? what the...?"
