Hi Beverley,
there is very good detail in the shot. Once again, use of narrow DoF has produced appealing results :-)

Best regards, Daniel

Hi Bev;
Echinacea - also one of my favorite flowers. This is excellent - great sharpness and clarity. Very nice color contrasts.
Yeah, "withstands drought", so well suited to where I live in western Canada.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Bev,

You had lost yours, are these the ones your friend did bring you?
They do seem to withstand the rain somewhat as well.
So much sun in a picture is extra appreciated, I know you probably feel the same when you look outside the window.
Absolutely lovely details here.

Hi Beverley, a very bold flower, this is a really striking shot.
I love the light which brings out all the colours and textures.
I have tried to grow these, but they don't seem to like my garden!
Tfs, regards Jean.

Thanks for your comments on my 'Mellow Yellow'.

However wet it may be, you have timed this shot perfectly, with lovely young petals and superb lighting. It does indeed do well in droughts, but our summer over here has been remarkably drought free this year too. All that water must come from somewhere -- will the supply run out before the winter? :)

Hi Bev, they certainly stand tall. Good focus and your chosen POV just right. The colour and detail nicely captured and the black border works well.

Thanks for the comment on my re post

If I were a little closer to my sister (as in distance) right now, she would be pouring Echinacea syrup and or tablets down my throat...vile stuff that is but it works :)

Hello Bev.. very nice capture of the Echinacea Flower here.. I like your composition.. I saw some wonderful specimens growing at the Eden Project when I was there in July..seems they are a hardy plant.. and very medicinal too.. I have used it often for the immune system with success!

Well done on your bright presentation.

Cheers
Dawn
