Paper by name only - Real in every other way


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Paper by name only - Real in every other way
Paper by name only - Real in every other way
This is another paper daisy against a beautiful blue sky!!

Tripod used - manual settings!! UV filter.
Some minor cloning to remove some background images but little other PS manipulation!!

The flower gets its name from the fact that the petals are like paper. This one I have growing in a pot in my garden!!

  I am so glad you cleared that one up Paul, I thought that was too good tobe true it was paper. I have never heard of a paper daisy. But then I will never cease to be amazed by the unique flowers in Australia. Very well done on the image ~ outstanding!
