One from last Easter. Any ideas what it is? It was growing in a field of wheat.

Thanks, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Don't know what they are Kris, they are such a pretty colour. Think it an appealing shot with a good choice of DOF but would like to see the petals sharper, there seems to be more detail in the hair like structure behind the blooms but the blooms themselves are a bit on the soft side. There again that may be what you intended but because of the in focus 'hairs' I think perhaps not.

The focus point was the ends of the stamens but the petals point forward hence the OOF parts of them. Ideally I would have gone for more DOF but the gentle breeze meant I had to compromise between shutter speed and aperture. These flowers are tiny, the image was at pretty close to 1:1 and I have still had to crop the image a little.

Best wishes, Kris.
