This is a photo of a very immature lantana bud. At this point, only 3 of its florets have opened. I liked how the colorful florets are contrasted against the oof greenery and the bud appears to be floating in space.

Richard: I like the colors, comp and BG. There is an overall softness that was either the result of slightly missed focus and/or insufficient DOF. I don’t see much evidence of motion blur. A capture that might lend itself to some creative filtering. >=))>
A very interesting take on a flower that I’ve found difficult to photograph. It is definitely floating! I love seeing all the detail. With the desire to keep the BG blurred, maybe one for a focus stack.
