Sorry, Jack, I can't help with the ID ( some kind of daisy ? ) but I do like the shot - a lovely spread of petals nicely lit.

Jack, I like the main subject. Great looking flower. A couple of suggestions if you don't mind. Perhaps a little different shooting angle to isolate the flower against the darker BG in the UR. As it is the brightly lit elements are a little distracting. Also the petals creeping in from the left are a tad distracting too.

Jack, this is most probably Purple Coneflower. Nice shot. The centre may require better focusing.

Jack: Looks like an aster to me and a good one. I like how you handled the tough light. Nicely done.>=))>
