Lovely image, but I can't help much with the ID. It looks a bit like Ragged Robin (genus Lychnis).

Thanks Tom.

I seem to recall "Pink Fragile" on a local info board - but cannot find any details at the moment.

Best, Sinuhe

Hi

Nice use of selective focus with an appealing balance of OOf effects - it does work well

All the best
Matthew

Thanks for the comments Matthew.

The 200mm Nikon Macro lens is ideal for this type of effect.

Best, Sinuhe
