Last days for the flowers. Cold & windy today and in the low 50's The bee's are still at it.







Canon 20D, 24-70 2.8L lens.

Nice flowers, rkw...what are they?

I am somewhat partial to the 2nd one with the flower really standing out from the background. The last one needs less DOF to make the flowers really stand out from the background. The first and second need a bit more light to make the flowers pop out, too. I would have cropped the last one and removed at least that small bit of flower fro the upper edge of the first one.

Suggestions (the color pop is a bit extreme here, but I wanted to give an example of what can be done):





Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the suggestions. I kinda had them where you do but I thought it was to much. The last one I did that on purpose to show the fallen leaves more. I guess I should have taken another with less dof.
The flowers are called Cosmos.
