Pink Cosmos with two visitors (Hoverflies). We have had a lot of Rain this season and its tough to find petals in flawless condition.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/16, 1/160 Sec, ISO400, Tripod and Diffuser.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Nasturtium and let me know what you think of this one.

Beautiful capture of this cosmos with the Hoverflies, Ram. Remarkable that you were able to use f16 to get both flies in sharp focus. Very nice comp. :toast:

Very nice color. I like the way the lines of the petals radiate out from the yellow center of the flower.

Ram: The flower itself is wonderful but the party crashers put this one over the top for me. Delightful image. >=))>

Terrific capture with both of the bees sharp and the flower's center placed so well in the frame.
