Love bamboo. What a beautiful variety! If it’s in a bog garden, I expect it runs rampant 🙂

Very glad you like them, Rebecca! It is quite a small botanic garden and they only have a few clumps of bamboo – they do nevertheless make me visualise scenes from films of wonderful bamboo forests….

Beautiful shots.
I am most drawn to the fourth shot. I like it’s minimalist composition and it has a quiet about it.
I like the others too!
Best wishes… 🙂

Much appreciated, Nigel. I was drawn to the way the light was defining the cylindrical profile of the stem that curves away to the horizontal in #4.

It’s lovely simple shot but beautifully delivered. The light works well but also the point of focus has those three smaller twigs rising from it. There is a lot to like in what initially might be seen as an understated composition. Right, I’ll leave it there…

That’s a cool bamboo, with those flaring nodes, and you made beautiful images of it. You know I’m jealous – ah, for an afternoon at a botanic garden! I love the dried tips on the leaves in the background of the first photo, so nicely balanced with that gorgeous stem. Each image is beautifully composed.
