The Marsh Marigolds by our pond are in full bloom now. I focussed on the tips of the anthers and the stigmas.

A very nice abstract pattern with a very warm summery glow to it.
If I had to find a nit,it would be the yellows look just a little over-exposed,but still a fine image as it is.

Hi Clive

For me this is an excellent image. A very 'artistic' and abstract approach to the subject which works well. Putting the tips of the flower off-centre works well, the overall composition is very pleasing. Good technique and use of flash to (I guess) reduce harsh shadows.
