2015 HD Deep Dive 8

Hi all.

In going through files and processing more photos, I realize just how many photos of Osteospermum (Gigis favorite flower - and I think mine too) that I take. They flowers are so versatile. You can shoot them shallow or deep. They grow for individual shots, multiple blooms, and cramming. They are, all around, just great photo subjects - and they come in lots of great colors too!

Thanks in advance.

Very nice, Nathan. I like the white and yellow color combination and the pof/dof management. Well done.

Nathan: I like this but it works a lot better for me with the stem cropped away completely. Love the flower color palette and your DOF/POF choice. >=))>

The dof in this one works very nicely, Nathan. The white foreground with the relative sparseness of the petals doesn't work as well for me as most of your images.

Seem to be the odd man out on this one Nathan. I like it a lot... just as presented.
