Canon T1i, 1/250 @ F-9 ISO 400

John: I'm afraid I'm no help on the ID but I sure do like the image. My only suggestion would be to clone away the dark debris spots. Wonderful details and good placement in the frame.>=))>

I agree with BIll about cloning out the dark spots but other than that the image is very nice. I like the detail you captured of the small hair-like texture that covers the outside of the flower.

Have no idea on its ID, but a very nice presentation of this wildflower. As others have mentioned, minor cloning would improve the image. :toast:

Very interesting bloom that is well captured John. I cannot help with the ID. Bill has a good idea about cloning away the dark spots.

Love those small hairs which are sharply rendered due to your perfect POF. Lovely looking flower nicely captured, John :cool:

This is the repost with the debris cloned out. Does make a difference, thanks for the comments.
