Not sure if I posted this before or not? If so, here it is again. This is a Deptford Pink wildflower in the Carnation family. Found in a local meadow.

Carolyn: Good DOF management on this and a fine comp. I would suggest cropping this from the bottom to 4:5 to eliminate some of the OOF stem. >=))>

This is one of those small flowers that would normally be overlooked...but boy does it have some showy patterns when you look up close! I agree that a little cropped off the bottom would give this even more impact.

Excellent dof. Great background and color in the subject as well. Very well done!

Carolyn:
Beautiful capture. This flower really glares at you especially having just came from Eirini's dark image before opening this up.

Beautifully composed, Carolyn ! The softness of the lower areas really sets off the main flower superbly, and I love the gradient bg.

Hi Carolyn What a beautiful wildflower wonderful patterns of detail and color. agree with bill about a small crop on the bottom, to make it even better
