The last one that I am posting from the Coneflower Series, even though I have more like This and This.

ND300s, AFD200mm Micronikkor with 36mm ET at F/5.6, 1/160 Sec, Diffuser, ISO400 and Tripod.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Coneflower-4 and let me know your feedback on this one.

Such great color, and I like that contrast from the warm and cool colors. Really lovely.

I always appreciate your artful approach & eye for the shot Ram.
I think the DOF range is perfect here, technically flawless IMO.
Beautiful work! :toast:
PS - I should dust off my ext rings and work this angle more :wink:

Yep, 36mm ET on a 200mm is just great for this look! Marvelous shot, Ram; I think this one is my favorite of the series.

My oof fg elements usually receive negative critique. How come it works so well here? I just can't figure this part out… :confused:

P.S. Just noticed that to my eye the very tips of the spikes have a purplish hue that picks up the flower petal color. Very :cool: !!

I really, really like the angle on this one Ram. The angle, the DOF, and the BG works very well for me.

Great series. I liked them all. This one ranks near the top. Of the this and this images, my preference is for the second this. I did not comment on CF 4, but I liked the twin comp. It is also well done. :toast:
