Karen,

Thank you for showing us how well the even lighting from overcast skies brings out the subtle gradations in flower colors. This one glows.

It would have been better if the anthers were in focus too because they’re the eye of the flower (at this close distance you don’t have much leeway so I know it’s tricky). At least you have good focus on the star-shaped pleats.

Since these gorgeous blooms are just outside your bedroom window why don’t you keep trying; when you get it right you will have a fabulous shot. Experiment with various placements of the ‘eye’ as well; flowers, like people, need ‘room to look’. #737715

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
