Gorgeous! This is a different variety of coneflower, but a lovely one. I like how some have horizontal petals and some droopy, and the variety in petal color. This image is great with the blue-green bokeh!
Very unusual colour combination and that wonderful buttery bokeh? May I ask what lens(es) do you use?
As I am looking at the photo, I am not sure about the blossom in low left corner. I think that without it the main subject and interaction between the in-focus blossom and those 2 in the background to the right would be stronger.
Beautiful colours in the background that really bring out the colour of the echinacea blooms. The cone flowers certainly are very graceful subjects to photograph.
Some really nice flower shots here. I like what you are doing with the DOF. This particular one is my favourite shot. Thanks for the comment you left on my blog.
Thanks for the recent comment on my blog Kala – much appreciated.
I’ve had a look through some of your recent images and really like your work. This one stands out for me – I love the soft tonality throughout and how the cool background highlights the warm blossoms. I also like the composition – the single focussed blossom at the left balanced by the blurred ones to the right.

Thank you, we have different kinds of coneflowers here, but they’re all lovely in my view.
OOh, I love the tones and the depth here. This wonderful.

Hi Kala,
Very nice indeed, Coneflowers are wonderful – still waiting for mine to flower! Boy are they taking their time…
I cannot believe they haven’t bloomed yet!

I disagree, the composition is perfect as it is. This image was shot with a 100mm 2.8 macro lens on a cropped sensor.
lovely subject, excellent trreatment.
Thanks Dave Q

Beautiful!
Thanks much!
This is truly inspiring Kala. You make wonders out of your photos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the lovely comment.
Hi! I love the shot! I love how the others are faded in the background. Do you use any post-processing? Or is it all the lens?
This lens actually renders lovely bokeh. I use Adobe Camera Raw to process almost all my shots. So, the answer is BOTH!
Oh, and thanks for the visit. You have a nice blog here! I’m gonna explore more of it…
Thanks for your visit Akash
