Default Daisy

We got some new flowers today, and I saw some potential for some good pictures. Here is one of the shots I was able to get:



Enjoy!

Very nice! There are so many varieties of this (I believe) African Daisy and this orange is new to me. A few of my favorite shots this spring have been of this flower. I have a yellow one, a peachy colored one, and a white one. They all have that wonderful purple in the center and the orange.

You did a great job with this one!

Great job. The only thing that bothers me about it is the edges of the petals being cropped on the top. Maybe crop it to fill the frame and have some of all the petals cropped off. Great DOF, and lighting though. I was a little stunned when I saw the vibrant colors. The focusing is wonderful.
