Grass wildflower

Gallery: FloraPosted June 20, 2011126 views13 comments

This was taken in a meadow behind my house. Many types of grasses were growing in this meadow including this kind with little flowers on top. I think it is either a Deptford Pink or Maiden Pink which are members of the Carnation family.

Canon Rebel T1. 90mm macro lens. F/9 for 1/40 sec. ISO 400.

Lovely detail and nice DOF, Carolyn. Since you have the macro lens, you might consider moving in even closer so the subject is not too overpowered by it' surroundings.

Nice job,

Carol

Carolyn,

I like this very much. Gorgeous color against a fine bg but it's your dof decision that really makes the image for me. Great plane of focus control.

I love this monochromatic image but one little spot of a contrasting color. Splendid Carolyn.
Take care.
