Mallow

[Dave Mills]

Shot this yesterday at Buck Gardens in NJ. For some not familiar with mallows the flowers can be enormous. The lighting created a mild backlit effect.
Nikon D300,F22 1/200,-1/3 comp,iso 400,tripod mtd, Topaz Adj using color boost and mild details filters.

Colors and sharpness, is what makes this for me..lovely..What lens were you using?

[Dave Mills]

Hi Paul, A 200mm Macro. This is a very large flower and it was shot at a distance...

Beautiful image!

delicate and beautifully hued, but do have a bit of trouble with that bit of bg.
For some reason it just seems too detached....but that's only IMHO
