Chamomile

Some kind of Daisy like flower growing in the local garden. Was in the herb/medicinal plants section, so I guess it has some medicinal property.

ND300s, AFD200mm f/4 Micronikkor @ F/8, 1/160 Sec, 36mm of ET, Tripod, ISO400 and Diffuser held nearly parallel to the face of the blooms for an even lighting with a plamp.

Thanks a lot for the comments on Perwinkle Swirl and let me know if you like this one.

Thanks a lot, David Schwaegler, for the ID - corrected the title

Looks like Chamomile. Great job taming what I'm sure was some extremely harsh light.

Another winner, Ram. With 4 out of the 5 sharp I kinda wish #5 was as well but that is a minor point. Good jopb controlling the whites.

Chamomile leaves make a very soothing tea. The bright airy feeling from the diffuser and the details in the flowers are great.

Great job of managing the light, like this group of five with the four in sharp focus.
I also think the light here lends itself to this particular flower, nice overall "feel good" factor..
They say this flower's tea is soothing? So that makes your image medicine for the soul

Well done Ram!

Looks like you're channeling your inner Brigitte or Elisabeth with this one, Ram. As with their images, I like the soft and dreamy look which evokes a plesant mood.

Very nice lighting & comp! I don't mind the oof 5th flower, it adds a nice dreamy atmosphere to the image in my opinion!

A real summer image - the imperfect petals and bright yellows make this a fun image
