Took this last summer - finally had time to work with it. The top was as shown, but I had to do some work on the bottom. Some texturing applied as well. Nikon D850, 105 mm at f5, 100 ISO, 1/125 sec, handheld while laying on the ground so I could get that gold color in the BG.

Any comments fair game.

Cheers!!

Sweet! The POV, golden oof bg, and the soft focus on the flower add up to a winner.

Hi Kathy,

No nits from me. This is awesome! The center of the flower is nice and sharp and the softeness of the petal tips suits the scene extremely well. I like this one as presented…Jim

That’s just lovely. I really like your choice of focus area, to accentuate the spiny bits.
