Shot in backlit condition.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor @ F/7.1, 1/500 Sec, ISO400 and Tripod. Some good processing etc done to show hidden details etc etc. Yellows in the background come from a patch of Coreopsis.

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

The lighting here is very nice. I like the simple composition and this is very nicely done.

Exquisite detail. I like the gradient colored background as well. The curve in the stem is the element that really makes this one special imo. :toast:
