Nikon D300, Sigma 150. F/6.3, 1/160, ISO 200.

This tiny Dianthus alpinus was taken in my garden. The red background is made up of a grouping of red Dianthus. Hope you enjoy it, comments appreciated.

Albert:
Beautifully done. I like how only the red rim and center are in focus and the wash in the bg supports the lone bloom nicely. :toast:

Nice one, Albert. I like the implied diagonals of OOF color in the background.

Good job.

Best wishes,

Carol

Superb plane of focus control Albert and very appealing colors and composition. Very fine work for my tastes. No suggestions.

Brilliant POF for the center on a killer background, Albert :toast: . I have tried similar compositions but failed miserably.
