This is a beauty Jeff! I like the center weighting, soft colors, and DOF. Nice neutral BG that is just the right tone to set off the flower. Looks good to go to me. #1541956Rita K. Connell August 26, 2013
very cool Jeff what is your background, and lighting. I agree a great shot especially for a center wt. image #10821830Jeff E Jensen August 27, 2013
Thanks, Mike and Rita! I'm pleased with this one as well.Rita - the background is just the dried grass in the distance behind the flower and the lighting is compliments of the rising sun. Nothing fancy about the setup on this one.
Here's another shot of one of these flowers (I have no idea what they are). #10822070

Nicely done. Very original composition. #10822645Beth Spencer August 28, 2013
I really like the DOF and amazing focus you have on the first one. I like it better for the simplicity of it. #10823231Teresa H. Hunt August 28, 2013
Beautiful shot Jeff! I love the colors and DOF. I do think I see a tiny bug in the middle of the purple . . . #10823398Dale Hardin August 28, 2013
Looks like an ant to me Teresa. Beautiful flower. #10823416Susan Williams August 29, 2013
Creative composition and lovely colors. I wouldn't change anything, but I would play with this interesting flower... I think a black background would be stunning. #10823808Jeff E Jensen August 30, 2013
Thanks, everyone!Susan - That's an interesting idea on the background. I'll have to play with that when I'm home next week. #10825206
