Default Morning!

A bit out of focus, I just loved the light and the flare of the sun ..

I don't know about being out of focus Jack. This is an extremely nice capture. Just love the way the shadows are coming through the silk like petals. and the lens flare from the sun adding a hint of colour. Beautiful white petals so fragile. This is lovely work my friend.

Jake.

I don't think its out of focus Ian, I think its one the best pictures you ever taken, I appreciate that comment is very subjective, but this is beautifully captured and so professionally presented, nice colouerd flare from the sun, delicate flower petal like expensive lace, and subtle colours and tones, great focus and DoF, the picture is a little gem

I too think this is a great shot. I like the way the light shows through the petals making them almost translucent.

thx guys, always appreciate your kind words .. I had this from one of my golf outings, and the group behind were pushing .. I only got off this shot, and when you zoom in on the full format you can't go far before it pixels out .. shame on me for not snapping a few more .. I sent it to a buddy to see how big it can go and still look good printed .. enjoy your Saturday ..
