Very cool flower, whatever it is. I love the depth of field in this... Was in TX two weeks ago, wish I had had the time to shoot some of the blooming wildflowers.
At least I got warm while I was there, though.

Surely a very unique flower, one of the most unique I ever seen! Good shot even under the not best lighting support, you manage it well. Perchaps I only can ask for a bit better focus, a bit more sharpness I mean on the main flower, not big deal ofcaurse, the image is pretty good (6)
Best regards!

Paul -- The color is subtle & unusual; coupled with the detail makes this one an eye popper. I really like it and the selective focus balanced with the off-set composition works perfectly.
--Best to you, Jan

As close as I was to the flower, I wanted to stop down to F 11 or 16, but there just wasn't enough available light in the fading evening sky.
Thanks for your comment, John.

It's a Mexican Hat, a type of coneflower that grows across most of the US

This flower only grows in North America, John.
It's a coneflower referred to in Texas as a Mexican Hat (because it is sort of shaped like a sombrero hat).

Artfully executed. Just beautiful. I've been capturing shots of lots of flowers lately, and I wish I'd taken this one. :)

The DOF is SOOOO shallow it almost looks super-imposed! Cool! Love the colors.

The other flowers were a foot or more away, and while this wasn't a macro lens, this lens at closest focus does have a fairly shallow DOF (as evident by the fact that only portions of the flower are in crisp focus).

Yes, Reza, this is a coneflower called Mexican Hat (at least here in Texas).
Thanks for your comment.
