At the flower show… by rhoing

At the flower show…

Our dear friend Jeanne is a super-active member of the local garden club, which mounted a [judged] show this weekend. ’Twas a gardener and photographer’s paradise with all the exotic species grown by the club members! This is but one shot among dozens and those of you who know me will understand why the applied mathematician chose this image… (I’m pretty sure this is a “cone flower”.) [SOOC except for name]

@exposure4u Thank you so much, Wendy!! The pre-365 me would have thought he needed the whole blossom in the center of the frame. From the wonderful images posted by my 365 friends like you, I have since learned otherwise! Thank you for *your* support and encouragement!!

I can't leave this one behind, I keep looking at it large with the amazing detail and the petals gradually going out of focus. DOF is spot on.... had to fav!

@snipsnap I did like this one, but I wasn't prepared for all the “attention” it received!
