The Last Coneflower of Summer by olivetreeann

The Last Coneflower of Summer

There are only two blossoms left in my garden and this is one of them. The whole thing looks rather sorry except for those two bright spots.

I was trying to work with the menus in the camera today, but confess I should have read the manual pages before doing so and didn't- hence a macro that is just a macro based on what I already know!
ah, the dof is simply delicious!

It does look sad when everything has finished flowering. My garden is just starting to come into bloom.

Beautiful close-up shot. It's only by practising with the camera settings that we can improve.

Great DOF and capture. These waning days of the garden are sad to see. Our area will go a bit longer until there is a freeze. In the mean time, I cherish those few spots of color.

Especially pretty on black and the shallow DOF and close crop make it art

Yes the colours in the garden will soon be a thing of the past.
