Bit of a Plain Jane, I'm afraid. The evenings are definitely lengthening, and what with the lovely bit of sun we had today, the garden was almost looking nice!! I noticed these guys peeking over a planter and thought they'd do for a bit of badly-needed colour and vitality in this unusually drab part of the year

I added a bit of an Orton effect to this to bring out the richness of the delicate colours (is that a contradiction in terms??) and the softness of the evening light. I'm not sure about the focus though - I wanted a shallow DoF centred on the flowers (the front two are in focus at f/1.8) but I think I may have chosen the wrong focus point. Looking at it now, my instinct tells me that I should have increased the DoF and focused on the middle flower....pity my instinct was asleep a couple of hours ago when I took the photo!! Thoughts? CC?
