One other favourite of mine from '09 - a pericallis centre. I know the pollen's a bit messy but that's nature for you !

Sweet image Ian. Goes right to the heart of the subject. Very nice selective focus and dof. Nice composition. I like the slightly diagonal capture.

I remember this one, Ian. Still looks fantastic, mess and all.

Ian,

I hope you had to shoot a thousand of these to get this perfect dof. (smile) A gorgeous and a really superb stack.

Love the focal plain and the colors to this Ian, it almost looks like a flower wave.
