A very painterly image Krunal. Very good separation of the FG cosmos bloom to the nice OOF BG.

Interesting composition Krunal. One would expect to see this organized with your main subject facing into the frame with the oof blooms fading into the background. By positioning your subject looking out of frame you've introduced tension in an otherwise soft and soothing image. A very painterly look and wonderful colors.

I just saw a program on the Himalayas on public television a couple of days ago, and they said a large percentage of our domestic flowers here come from that area. This looks like one of those. I have grown these in my yard several times.
Beautiful color and I like the background. Ditto on Wayne's comment on your comp. Well done.

Hi Krunal, Have never seen an orange Cosmos. Really like the DOF in your image.

Cheers,

Carol

This is a great shot, one of those where the bg is as interesting as the main subject. Well done.
I like photographing flowers with long leafless stems. I might have to check these out. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous image for my tastes Krunal. Beautiful color palette, excellent detail, strong unusual composition, superb supporting bg for the main subject. No suggestions.

Krunal: I'm asking this question out of ignorance so please humor me; in India do you read text left to right or right to left? In the US since we read left to right our minds seem to prefer comps where if there is a flow it works best if it goes left to right. I like this very much as is, especially your DOF management, but if I flip it horizontally I like it even more. Well done.>=))>
