A lovely capture of these Echinacea flowers, taken from a good angle and creating a good bokeh effect as the fully blooming and up and coming flowers of varying heights all stand tall, with great sharp clarity and good DOF that gives the range of focus that eventually turns to a blur which acts as a good b/g to accentuate the flowers further. Nice lighting and excellent bold colours, and cropped and leveled nicely. A great composition and overall lovely piece, well done :)

Comment from Shmore


Initial impact is how very clear and sharp the flower portraits are.
I like the composition, colours and DOF.
A lovely image to view and enjoy.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow...these beautiful blooms in February! Is Speke Hall and Arboretum?

You have done a fine job here..with so many detailed centers in these cone flowers...as I know them...you have sustained an amazing amount of clarity and sharpness. Your whites are controlled and your dof is perfect. I think the long stems in the center of your composition are my favorite part. As they break up the many details of each flower. I also love that little, new and barely opened bloom in between the stems and under the large flowers. It is as if it is saying ,"I think I can!" A beautiful composition. Thank you for sharing! Well done!

A natural capture of the Echinacea flowers who all seem to be vying for attention. I like the delicate petals on these type of flower which tend to point down, well framed and a nice display. Good luck in the contest.

Very vibrant flowers! I love the up-close detail as well as the faded background. The flowers seem to be trying to fight for the sun and are stretching upwards towards the sky. A lovely piece. Thank you for sharing!

This is an excellent shot of a potentially very challenging shot. I mean, look at all the possible angles you can frame from.

Technically your camera settings produced very high detail of just the right blossoms. Great choice of f/stop.

color is bright, vibrant and natural in saturation.

Nice work ... B-)) Bob
