A big thankyou to Ronnie (RonnieAG), Neil (NeilWigan), Maureen (Paree), and Ken (franken) for their very valued User Awards on my yellow roses, "Symbol of Friendship".
I have been overwhelmed by your response to my flower manipulations, and maybe I'll come back to them some time, but now I am attempting to gently wean myself off uploading any more, and am starting with a wonderful show of purple clematis from the immaculate West Dean Gardens, Chichester, West Sussex, situated in the rolling folds of the South Downs National Park, on the River Lavant, founded by Edward James.
This 300ft-long pergola is the masterwork of the garden designer Harold Peto. It's a massive stone and timber covered walkway, a perfumed promenade, with a pond and little building at the end. V2 gives you a little better insight into its beauty.
Pamela.

The flash in V 1 has brought all the detail and wonderful colour in that splendid clematis which has been captured at it's very best.
And V 2 shows off the structure of the pergola very nicely, Pamela.
So many photo opportunities there, I'd guess, these two just whetting the appetite for more?

V2 my preference here. It's more austere, linear, I like the sense of recession from the camera; plus the petunias aren't so in-your-face. Lovely complementary colours!
v1 is a very good image of the flower, but v2 is a beautifully balanced image. Love the composition with the journey down the pergola to the window, natural framing on the sides, and a glimpse of the house on the right. The flowers on the pillar on a third are perfectly placed. v2 is a beauty.

Two super shots.Hard choice between the two! V2 takes us nicely along the path, but I love the lighting on the lovely clematis in V1. Must be gorgeous gardens.

Two super shots. Hard to choose between the two. V2 leads us nicely along the path, but I love the lighting on the beautiful clematis. Must be lovely gardens.
Lavina
Wonderful colours, light and shadows in these Pamela, both are fine compositions and worthy of an upload. I think v2 just edges it but v1 shows the climbing clematis at its best
A beautiful close-up in V1, Pamela, but I do like the wider view in V2, so this has to be my fave!
Trev 
Two beautiful and well composed captures, v1 for me, a great close up
The flash in V1 really has lifted and boosted the impact of those marvellous colours, Pamela. Perfectly lit, IMHO.
Malc
Two stunning shot, fabulous colours and excellent detail
Hugh
A very fresh change- still gardens best but in a bigger picture, the grand design off argent g.
Very good.
