Gazania taken in our garden late in the afternoon Sunday. I was especially attracted to the low angled light playing across the center and petals. Didn't do any clean up of the pollen as I wanted to show off the incredible resolution I'm getting out of the new camera. All comments welcomed

This is stunning Bill. The light, color and comp are superb. An exceptional image for my tastes. The larger version is simply magnificent.

The colors and detail just blow you away. Good camera in the hands of the great photographer equals a stellar image.

Stellar, Bill. I really like the sidelight, the striking color, and the detail.

Bill:

Looks like you are putting the A77 through its paces. Did you have any issue with the raw in LR or CS? There is no raw converter for the D600 for LR and CS when it first came out.

Lovely image. Like the gradient lighting and tremendous details. I find the my iMac is running a little slower with this larger file size.

The details are great, as are the colors and comp. I like having the pollen scattered around the center. Beautiful!

Great image Bill! Lots of impact from the processing, DOF, and comp.
