One from the Calendar Gardens. I do not know what kind of flowering plant this is but it is planted in an area by itself, and is very large.

Thank you for your comments, and hope your having a great foofy friday.

Equip. Canon 450D and canon ef 70-200mm f/4L USM lens, hand held.

Like how the top of the flower has brighter and the rest is darker. Very beautifully done.

Beautiful work Sandi - excellent clarity and detail. I believe this is from the daisy family - related to Gebera daisy or African daisy.

Hi, Sandi....You've delighted us with some great color in the blooms, perfect depth of field and focus, and the perfect dark background. You're starting to get more than fair at this. LOL

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson
