A selective focus view of a calendula (?) that I found blooming in Sonoma County on a recent visit to California.

Hi

A very nice use of DOF to craft this dreamy look - very pretty

All the best

Very, very pretty. Not an expert but maybe a bit brighter - still beautiful as is.

Tom: I like your selective focus and the overall comp. I would definitely consider making the leaf below the main subject go away either in the field or in processing. Well done. >=))>
