Inside the Anemone

This is a macro study of a Anemone that has been flowering all summer, autumn , winter and spring !

They live in a little pot near our decking and unbelievable have remained in flower for 9 months

Shot with my Panny TZ7 on my aldi lookalike "gorillapod"

There was a tiny little bug on the flower that I have attempted to clone out as it was distracting.

GIMP post processing: auto levels, cloning, sharpening and then a crop.

Got rid of the bug nicely - and a good idea - nothing to take away the pristine beauty of this flower!
