More Coneflowers
Hope I don't bore ya'll with more coneflowers, but wanted to share a couple from Saturday morning. Lots of dew and some early morning light combined to give these a nice fresh feel.

Nikon 70-200, f/16, 0.3 sec

Surprisingly light and airey feeling to these shots Bill. I like both of them but prefer the light a little better in the second image. It's nice to see some shots with a summer feel. I can't seem to get away from all my commitments to make any new images. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Bill, both are really good, but I think the second is my favorite. Glad to see you are getting out this summer.

Shutter speed. Tripod--of course!

These are both lovely, but I prefer the second one a smidge over the first. Great light & feel. These could almost be watercolor paintings. Great work!

Hey Bill, Looks like time well spent. Both shots have a "water color" feel to them. I like them both and can see them as wall hangers for the feminine buyers of wall art. They offer two different feels for the same scene. The first has a green center bordered by flowers and the second has the flower center bordered by green. Great diversity of the same scene...
