Shot through some tall grass to give the coneflower a soft feel. Early morning sun giving some slight sidelighting.

Lovely light and I really like the background, the more detailed stems on the left compared to those on the right provide a real interest. DOF on the flower looks optimal.
Did you brush it to smooth it, or was it a blurr filter, or just as is?
Hey Jonathan, this is all natural, I just positioned the lense with some of the weeds in the front, and these weeds softened the image. With a wide open lens the weeds in front of the lens become a soft blur.
It does have almost a painted feel to it, Mike...lovely light and a really strong composition IMO. With everything situated on the left side of the frame you gave the light room to come into the photo and I find myself looking over to the right expecting to see the sun itself. Sweet!
Hi Mike, great effect shooting through the weeds and lovely (back?)light. I do wish the coneflower itself had a little less of the green haze.
Lovely. I especially like the tiny bit of sunlight Nice, soft look. Lovely colors. Well done. It is nice to see one of your images!
Stunning image. Thanks for sharing your technique Mike. I only wish I could manage light the way you do
Hey Mike,
What I love most is that it is all in camera! I really like this for all the above mentioned reasons. I do see Jerry's point.....but that may change the mood and feel too much. I like this as presented but will ask......did you get any with just the RH side stuff as a BG?.......I think that would work too but the flow of light in this is just fantastic! I will have to try that myself some time so thanks for sharing the technique!
