More white cosmos this year in the gardens near me than I can recall in previous years - this one shot a couple of weeks ago.

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 108mm, 1/200 sec @ f9, ISO 400, hh.

Another beautiful and elegant cosmos image, Ian. At first, I thought I'd like a pinch more room, but I like the impressive size of the blossom and its position in the frame. The companion bud and oof bg round out the excellent comp. Outstanding overall. :toast:

You just make this look so simple, Ian. And, it is definitely not. An ordinary flower made into pure art. :toast:

Ian - You are an expert at working with Cosmos Flower (amongst many others). I like the drooping stem which strengthens the composition a lot and the inclusion of the bud which supports the main flower.

Whites as always are delicately and expertly rendered.
