Default Chrysanthemum colours....
1895 - Christhemum-1

I liked this Hybrid.... it was taken at Wisley, our RHS Headquarters in England some time ago but I did the work on it just a couple of months ago. The blurring was achieved on Photoshop CS4. Very simple to do.

Nice clear detail on the centre of the flower and it looks like you managed to avoid any insects "photo-bombing" your picture! The colours are very strong and the black border certainly sets them off although I'm a little ambivalent about it - do you have a version without the border for comparison?

Very nice shot, just love the amazing colour and I like what you've done with the soft focus too.
