Brown-eyed Susan III

And the final.  I liked the look of this flower from the rear as well.  I ended up with it pretty small in the frame so this is quite a large crop, but the original was sharp enough that I think it held up well enough for web presentation.  I'd probably have to redo the shot if I wanted to print it at a decent size.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 500 mm, tripod with ballhead and Wimberley sidekick, f/8, 1/500, iso 1250, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped to 4.6 MP before resizing for the web.  Taken July 6th at 6:14 am.

Your comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dennis, a very handsome flower, but I still like #1 best.

Nice simple composition Dennis. Fantastic detail in the petals and flowers hairs and they show off nicely against the soft grey BG.
