sadly that seems to have lost definition in the UHH displayed picture, and on this side of the pond that's not a periwinkle as we know it?
I've never seen a periwinkle that colour.

Well, I wish I knew how to respond to this type of comment. :(

According to the many Plant Identifier apps., each one identifies this subject as a Periwinkle.
Thank you. :))

UHH unfortunately reduces the quality of inserted pictures to speed up loading times, the only way round it is to 'Add Attachment' by ticking the box. The downside of that is that you lose control of your images, which is why some people add a watermark showing ownership of their pictures.
As ever though your camera craft is excellent.

I understand what you are saying however, I do not feel as though there is a problem with image quality here.
There are some flowers that just do not possess a lot of detail in the petals and on a personal note, I do not always
like floral images that are so sharp they appear to be nothing more than a dried out potato chip. I have discovered
a little softness combined with the proper exposure, color replication and composition are attributes that profoundly contribute to Image Quality.
In this hobby/discipline, it all comes down to what the shooter finds to be most rewarding.
Thanks again,
Tony :)))

As you are happy, then I am too, I wasn't being critical of the picture or your technique.

I agree but if the image is taken to a competition it will not meet their basic standards. It is a periwinkle and here in South Florida what I see are the deep red and white varieties more often.
I am not critical of your image either Tony I am just saying that judges will not accept the softness the image shows. We are all different and we see the world differently.

Again, I certainly appreciate your effort in offering some very helpful information. The only issue I will raise is this
section is not open to critique. It does state that criticism is welcomed when requested. I mention this only because
I have witnessed myself many heated and inflammatory exchanges reach a boiling point to where one or many
members have been permanently banned. There is a Critique Section here whose purpose is self-explanatory.
Unsolicited Critique and Editing often leads to serious problems between members and I certainly am one who
wishes to avoid such confrontations. This is not why I decided to get serious about photography more than five
decades ago. Again, many thanks for your well intentioned efforts.
Best wishes this Holiday Season. God Bless.
