Sunburst
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

At Markjay's request, the story behind the image: I took this the first day I tried out my new 60mm micro lens. I couldn't seem to get the hang of the extremely shallow DOF and kept running back and forth between the garden and my computer, trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Finally, I captured this one and felt that the lens and I might become good friends. Unfortunately, I haven't had much chance to use it since :-(.

Great Capture..I especialy love the dotting of particle flower pollen sprinkled about..It really adds the notion of burst and disperse..irish

Just beautiful, Helen! The details in all it's glory, with beautiful bursts of color and natural elements. What no story behind this one? (there's usually always a story behind your image subjects, Helen :-) markjay
