This is a brilliant yellow flower with the most distinctive rays. The background wasn't conducive in color, but it doesn't look half bad in monochrome.

Thanks Earnie. There seems to be an ever-changing landscape of wildflowers that change from week to week. It's fun finding the new ones.

Thanks gramcracker. The flower blossoms seem almost finely "etched" against the background ..... I loved the effect.

Thanks Bob. I was just admiring your flower work a few minutes ago ..... that and a magnificent Pileated Woodpecker to top it off.

Download is very pretty. Black and white was a good idea.

Thanks Erich. I have always liked the distinct drama it gives fairly simple blossoms.

I agree Michael, this lady has some shapely curves on her.

Very nice Bob. The flowers would have been completely lost in all of that dense, green, in focus foliage.
Your B&W treatment isolates the flowers and makes them the subject. Beautiful.

Thanks Psergei. You put the finger on my dilemma straighaway - bright yellow and green/chartreuse are too close in hue to differentiate much.
