Abstract take on Shasta Daisy Petals.

The petals are small so a magnification of higher than 1:1 is needed along with great control on the plane of focus. I used a 36mm Tube on 60mm Macro Lens thereby shooting this somewhere between 1.3 and 1.5 times life size

ND300s, AFS60mm F/2.8 Micronikkor, F/5.6, 1/320 Sec, ISO400, Diffuser and Handheld (1:1 does not seem like much once you break the barrier).

Thanks a lot for your comments on Asiatic Lily and let me know what you think of this one.

Terrific abstract, Ram. Not quite sure how you did this, but I sure like the result.

This needs to be printed big and hung Ram. Superb art in my opinion.

Oh, I love this, Ram! The subtle shadings and the curved lines seem as smooth as silk. The yellow attempting to peek through at the top gives a very artistic focus to this very artistic abstract. Very well done!

The flowing lines and small patches of color are great. This creates a very soothing yet warm sense.
