A purple coneflower closeup - too bad these pretty flowers fade so quickly.
This sort of selective focus, one that weaves through the spikes, may not appeal to everyone. Try the lightbox...

Nicely done. These are fun to explore close up. Never know what you'll find inside these blossoms!!! Well presented. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful work with selective focus. Repeating patterns really play magic on the eyes along with the rich colors.

Gorgeous abstract Tom --- it reminds me of a school of tropic fish swimming toward the camera!
