Returning form the Alligator Farm we spotted some flowers along !-95 by an exit and were able to wort with. Very large wild flower bed in a ditch by a gas station. Lucked out with some cloud cover and had lots of fun. Even got some insects !!
Comments welcome and much appreciated

The wide aperature works well here Al - good detail on main section of this interesting flower head against a lovely soft BG. I like it!!
Is that a couple of dust bunnies I can see Al ;)
the bg for this is phenomenal!! the dof is superb!! my only complaint is that it looks to be a dust spec just left of the flower. other than that, this is classic!!
Love the soft light, the COMP, and the ethereal feel. Way to go.

Hi Alfred,
I might add............IMO this works so well because it looks like the flower was totally isolated from other flowers/stems and a bit away from the BG as well. Looks like a dream!
