Aster

[Joanna Trescott]

I took this today while looking for the elusive mushrooms.

Canon 20D, 100mm lens @ 100mm, 1/13/sec @6.3, ISO 400 +1.0 EV. Tripod. Jules' radial blur plus paint daub filter.

Ooops, actually, this is an aster, not an aspen!

Joanna, this is magnificent! I'd like to see it also with a horizontal orientation,, cropping to inches off the bottom :)

[Joanna Trescott]

Thanks, Fabs. Here is a repost with your suggestion. Thanks.

Very nice on the repost composition Joanna. I like this one better...:cool:

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

So do I - well done Joanna!

[Julie Kenward]

Love the way the yellow center petals flame up around the periwinkle. This is really cool!

[Arthur Morris]

Rocking! I like them both. The repost is stronger compositionally, but in the first post, if you stare at it, it looks as if the petals are moving. It makes me dizzy!

[Alfred Forns]

..... Joanna ... did you eat any of the mushroom before making this image :)

Both are strong images, colors blend so well and it has strong appeal !!! Big Congrats !!!!
