This image is from Riverside Park, Milwaukee taken a few years back. I am interested in knowing what you think of this.

180mm, ISO640, 1/20s@f/8 (to minimize chances of breeze shake), natural light, tripod/cable release.

I think it's interesting to see this bud in the process of opening and would like to get more close up.

Govind: This is very cool. A shame this is an old shot. I like to shoot a series of blooms like this noting the different stages of development but as a stand alone it works very well .>=))>

Govind - Looks good to me. Love the limited DOF for the bud with just a few petals opening up. The two leaves going at some odd angle also adds some dynamism to the shot

I like the shallow look and the point of focus. For me, I would like just a little bit more to grab me, Govind.
