The cosmos season is in full flow here right now. The backdrop for this one, shot on a sunny day, is a yucca plant.

Gorgeous, Ian. The cosmos is perfectly positioned and exposed against the nice bg. :toast:

The supporting echoes of lines behind the bloom work extremely well here, Ian. That is a difficult thing to do with background lines, to make them support without distracting. I am really enjoying this summer series! "More please, sir?" :toast:

I like the way the background supports the flower very much. I like the refreshingly pure white of the flower. No nits! :toast:

Ian - If there is anything called crispy white then this must be it. Looks absolutely lovely with a 3D feel to it.

Ian: Just a great DOF choice and BG management. The light isn't bad either. Very, very well done.>=))>

Ian, this is stunning. The flower is beautifully captured, but for me the BG truly takes it out of the ordinary because of the color and the radiating blurred pattern. Great work!
