Nikon D300, 50mm. F/8, 1/13. ISO 200.

These Black-eyed Susans were taken in my garden last August. I like the diagonal lines and vibrant and happy mood. Comments appreciated.

I like the same things in this you do Albert. Beautiful image and a very appealing mood. You also did a good job of taming the chaos with your comp - at least for my tastes. No suggestions.

Albert:
Great mood, makes me happy to look at this.
I had many shotting sessions with these last summer but did not end up with anything I liked. I find these challenging to compose, so it is nice to see your take on these.

Terrific color and detail....the nice tight frame filling composition is well done. My only suggestions would be to clone out that white spot that's on one of the petals of the flower in the very lower left corner and to crop just a bit from the top to remove the OOF petals that are coming in from the top edge. Nice stuff!

I love the all-over pattern of brown circles, golden and green diagonials.

Well done, Albert.
