I just can't get enough of the flowers of this species. Luckily for me, they're a ferocious weed in my backyard. We keep a few of them each year. In winter, we get European goldfinches who feed on the seeds.
I tried something differnt here, going for a B/W high contrast backlit image. I added just a touch of sepia to make it less harsh.
I still doubt whether to remove those spider threads.
D7000, Nikkor 200mm f/4 Micro, handheld, ISO-500, f/18, 1/160, EV -1.7.
Reduced exposure in ACR, cropped for composition, sharpness.
B/W conversion in CS5 with Maximum White settings, adding a bit of sepia tint.
