Although my Black Eyed Susan's have finally started blooming, I found these growing alongside a little road adjacent to a cemetery.

Super detailed and so very pretty. I love being able to see the grains of pollen and the tiny hairs on the stems. Very well done.

Carol, thank you for your comments. After spending two + days (off & on) trying to get a pleasing picture, I decided to post this one. The detail is coming out OK, but I'm not all that happy with the arrangement. After analyzing what I don't like about the arrangements, I will probably try some other thing tomorrow.
I'm actually having a lot fun, but like you, I'm always trying to get better.
Gary

Hi Ted68survivor,
I totally agree, Black Eyed Susan's are defiantly one my favorites. I gravitate to the simple flowers for photographic subjects. The pic I posted is probably still a work in progress. I actually think the arrangement can be more pleasing.
I really appreciate your comments and support.

Hi Tom,
I am so glad you like the Black Eye Susan's. They are one of my favorites. Sharpness is getting better, but I believe composition could still use some improvement.
Thank you for checking in.

Very nice, Gary. Did you know it's the state flower of MD? It's one of my favorites.

GaryK,
When you say that the Black Eyed Susan is 'difiantly' one of your favorites, do you mean you chose it under duress?

Tom, I'm pleased you like the photo. I learn something every day. I didn't know the Black Eyed Susan was the state flower of Maryland.
Thank you.
