Nikon D300, 150mm, F/4.5, 1/200, ISO 200.

This alien wildflower is growing profusely in all the meadows alongside the buttercups, making a spectacular scene. Comments appreciated.

Wonderful color and light Albert. My only suggestion would be to clone out the OOF bloom as it is sharp enough to compete with the subject. This might just be me, and am interested to see what the others think.

I like it as is, although I'd like to see a whole field of these guys. Nice work, Albert.

Nice choice of DOF, making OOF accents of the buttercups.

Looks great, Albert, except for the oof flower on the right. Great detail in the front flowers. This inspires me to get out of the garden and into the wild for flowers, as this ought to be prime time.

Albert - Nicely done with hints of yellow from the buttercups in the background. It might have been difficult for you to compose without the OOF bloom on the right or may be you have vision for it to fit in. For me the frame would have looked stronger without it.

Superb detail Albert and a very nice bokeh. As for the composition, I might have held the OOF bloom on the right out of the frame but still very nice shot as presented. :toast:

I agree with Ram. Nice image; probably will be stronger still without the OOF bloom on the right. Love the yellow in the bg.

Very nicely done, Albert ! Your dof choice, focusing especially sharply on the centres, is perfect. Nice comp too.

Great colors, soft light, and I like the POV Albert.
I agree with Ram & the others that it might be better sans the OOF flower Rt side. :wavey:
