Sigh, they told us that agents should always hide behing hugebutts and now we see that we've been cheated thought the... errm, cover was huge! ;-)
That's how photographers end up - capturing the next hugebutt that is about to put them under cover! ;-)
Take care too,
Nick - running for cover! :-)

Oh I thought that a hugebutt would provide excellent cover*LOL Sorry my bad jokes!
I donīt know the English expression- shell, seeds?
Take care

The devil hides in the details, as the people in Germany say ;-)
But really, is there any distinct name for that what remains when the flowers are gone? In German the word "Hagebutte" is often used, especially for things that have approximately that shape. What is the word for that in English? Hagebutts? That sounds quite... errrm, like a bad word! ;-)
Curious to know what they are called - anybody out there any ideas?
Nick
P.S.: Undercover agent 00N to 00M: The huggebutts are too small for providing any cover at all! ;-)

*Looking embarrassed* No, they are not berries - I was so occupied with the composition that I didnīt look well at the subject itself!
No, they look like small containers of seeds.
Take care

I don't know Annemette! Are they berries? They look somehow like small capsules containing something (seeds perhaps?) and having some kind of a "cap" on the top of them. So what are they? :-/
Have a nice day,
Nick

:-) You mean berries?
Thanks for the explanation about the term isotropy, Nick.
Be well

Hi Andre and many thanks again for the nice comment. Indeed they look very classical and I didn't even noticed!
As about the compliments, well, it is not that I don't care so much about all of them, but rather about those that are limited to two or three words, like for example "great picture" or similar. I can't find anything useful/fascinating/good in them and so this kind of compliments is a bit too "rigid" for me. They do not cause any "motion" in my mind.
Of course it is completely different when something is said about composition or color etc. Then I can think about that and perhaps learn a bit more.
Many many thanks again and have a nice day!
Nick

Thank you very much, Annemette! Actually they are... what remains after the flowers are gone - what do we call them? Not ripe fruits?
Isotropy means spherical symmetry, but mine is quite... hmmm the other way around. I only have a plain of mirroring, and that only "almost". ;-)
Take care,
Nick

Hmm, Fabio, bringing a black hole or any other form of potential in some point of space will *surely* destroy the absolute symmetry and isotropy. But this is not the space itself. It is rather space+black hole, or in general space+potential.
In this sence, even the electric field between a positive and a negative charged particle and even at very low voltages does destroy this symmetry of space. But in the absence of any potential space is completely isotropic.
Of course even the flowers growing on the earth are way not in a potential free space since they are in the gravitational potential of the earth. But this is relatively "low" - it does not really disturb the symmetry very much.
The absolute isotropic space would be out there in the universe as far away as possible from any mass and energy - but unfortunatley the flower wouldn't use the great symmetry for growing but rather for dying! ;-)
Same goes at the vicinity of a black hole - ciao flower! ;-)
And somewhere between absolutely zero potential (free space) and infinite potential (black hole) life learned to evolve.
Thanks a lot for your nice comment,
Nick

Nick,
As I said in my other post... your last three posts are outstanding. This one is another "classic macro" Very well composed.
I know you say you don't care so much to hear compliments, but sometimes there is nothing to criticize. This image is one just like that.
Great job!
Andre

THe flowers stand out in a beautiful way and thereīs a kind of ressonance in the background due to the similar shapes.
Take care mr. isotropic:-)

so very beautiful (as it is)
(well, about isotropic space witnessed by spheres and circles in nature: maybe it's only a hypothesis, the closer you'd get to a black hole, the less isotropic space may appear. nevermind, I doubt that flowers may bloom near a black hole:)))
