Cosmic … Beautiful!

One of my favorite flowers - the Cosmos.

So much elegance and beauty in one single object in the Cosmos.

It almost appears to be moving!

You caught me, BF. There was a slight breeze for which I could have compensated by going to a higher ISO and hence a faster shutter speed. But I took several shots allowing one or two to blur ever so slightly for the softening effect.

One other phenomenon is the effect of complimentary colors, spectral opposites and/or warm and cool colors occupying significant portions of the frame; the retina of the eye perceives them as intensified and vibrant, simultaneously advancing and receding in depth.

Good call my friend!

I love the pod in the center of the flower Mac. They look like guardians to me.

They're actually the male reproductive parts of the plant, Kavika.

Good work if you can get it.

A Mac.......nice. That's how things look to me anyway, without my eyeglasses on, that is. Like a painting. It has been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I couldn't agree more.
