I picked up some flowers to plant in my yard, but couldn't let this one go outdoors without shooting it first. Nik Color Efex midnight filter applied.

Perfect specimen, comp and dof. These are so low to the ground and a slight breeze makes it difficult to get a good image. Smart to take it in before planting. Well done. :toast:

Beautiful subject and image Kathy. I particularly like the placement of the flower in the frame. Very fine work. No suggestions of any kind.

Very graceful and delicate Kathy. The flower stands out perfectly against that BG. Very, very nice. Good call on bringing this one in to shoot it.
