Visiting my 90 year old Mother this Rudbeckia hirta, the Black-eyed Susan in her garden caught my eye.
The new Sony alt 77 with the 15 position led adjustable viewfinder made this a much easier set up.

Like the point of focus at flowers center, nice details there Rick.
The side POV of the evenly spread petals works very well, like their gentle upward curve.
Great exposure and colors, like that contrasting dark green BG & bit of tilt left too.
Well composed with just the right amount of space - Well done! :toast:

I agree with Howard, Rick. Excellent angled comp and POV, and perfect selective focus and BG. :toast:
