Morton Arboretum, IL USA. Oct. 2010. Early morning sun was lighting up
these plants. I decided to use a simple composition with shallow DOF to focus on one of them.

Settings: Nikon D80, 70mm Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8, f/2.8, 1/250sec , ISO200

C&C are welcome and appreciated.

I echo Bill's comment. A good choice of DOF.

Beautiful light! I find myself wanting to see this closer up but this works too. Great shot!

Beautiful light and an interesting looking plant. Sure would like to see it up close in a macro perspective.

Thank you for your feedbacks. Unfortunately, I don't have a macro lens. I was thinking it would be very handy for this instance as I was taking this photo.
