 Day 15 of 30 Flowers

Couldn't come up with a creative title for this one ;-)

This is from a local garden park. The DOF is probably shallower than it should have been but I like the way it came out. Kind of dreamy.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, decreased gamma, colored a little on two dead flower heads, added border, resized, sharpened.

Very dreamy. Who knows, maybe black-eyed susans dream of being asters!

i like the choice to 'stay dark' - it makes us stick around and browse around
