Gerbera close up

For the last 3 days we have been hosting my wifes partner school teacher from Normandy.

School very thoughtfully bought Chrystelle a lovely bunch of flowers, but it will be very difficult to take them home on the Eurostar.

So, here is a photograph of one for you Chrystelle. Thank you for staying with us, we've had a lot of fun.

Lovely! I like the sharp focus on that droplet at the end of the petal.

[Sean O'Neill]

@ladyjane Thanks jane, well spotted, that was the intention, though it has come out a bit darker than it looked in CS5, even allowing for 365!!
