I like the light and airy look of this flower.

Canon 60D, f/16, 1/400, ISO800, 300mm focal length, Topaz Denoise on bg.

All comments welcome and appreciated.

Good one, Barb! almost in full focus and a nicely blurred BG. I'm sure the Denoise helped.cool

The bold yellow looks very nice set against the dark greens Barb!

Simple & effective comp, the DeNoise filter you've used produced a great effect on this BG too..

Maybe I'll do the 30 day trial thing, might save me some time.crying

 

Well done!devil

Barb - Its amazing how many different varieties exist in this Cosmos Family. Nice angled composition and an exposure that has preserved the petal details.

Very nice comp and colors, Barb. The yellow petals are light but not too light.

I love the dark green background and the interesting, uneven edges to the petals. You are right when you say it is light and airy, it almost looks as though it could float away.
