The centre of a South African daisy - always full of incident ! A shot from a year or two ago.
Canon 400D, 100 macro, 1/15 @ f8, ISO 200, Helicon stack ( I think some 4 or 5 images )

I might eliminate the water droplets on the petals. Draw too much attention. A gorgeous image, enhanced further by your presentation and an interesting framing. Can you post (or email) the process used for the see-through frame?

Further to Patricia's comment I have this repost without the droplets. Which do people prefer ?

Great look, Ian. The colors and details in the center really pop against the white petals. There's an added crispness to the presentation in the repost that I find especially attractive.

Very nice high key type of presentation. Very nice color and detail in the center. I prefer the second post. The water droplets, which at first I thought was a stacking artifact, is a bit distracting from the beautiful interior and clean exterior. Well done.

Beautiful, Ian. Love the colors and super detail in the center, and the way it sits in the radiating white petals. Top notch. I prefer the cleaner repost.

The petals draw me right into the colorful details of the center. As much as I usually like raindrops, in this case I like the simplicity of the repost.
