 Day 26 of 30 Flowers

One of my Orange Cosmos from the back, with a rather shallow DOF. I kind of like the odd way the stem goes from in to out of focus.

PP - converted from RAW, dodged stem, increased contrast slightly, resized, sharpened, cloned out weird edge.

For me it is the light and shadow defining the petals so variously.

Great background and colours. I don't think I've ever seen an orange cosmos before.
