Often in my flower photography I focus on detail.

More likely one specific detail.

This image is different. I focused on one specific element. But that element almost completely erases detail.

The focus in this image is the very tip of the closest flower petal.

At a shallow depth of field this puts everything else out of focus.

This image is more a study of shape and color than anything else.

Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 60mm f/2.8. Focal length 60mm. ISO 400. 1/320 sec. f/3.8.

Thank you for joining me on the blog today to look at some shape and color.

I have more photographs of a wide variety in this gallery of Flowers.
