Another shot from the botanical garden trip; similar to this one. Maybe it's just the thumbnail, but this shot looks a bit cluttered and busy; oh well, hopefully I'll get out shooting soon and can stop posting from the archives.

Also, I included a black and white (vignetted) version.

Update: My apologies, I guess I was tired and forgot to upload the b&w verison. It is there now.

Busy? At least all flowers are in yellow colour. They are so beautiful and I definitely won't put a foot on them. Your DoF really interesting. Looks like multiple DoF in a photo.

A prickly situation for the flowers living in such close proximity with Spike there. ;-) Meanwhile, not to cluttered for my tastes. in fact I love the colours in this one.

I just tried to look at the B&W version but it doesn't show. Didn't like the competition? ;-)

I'm not much into flowers shots, but I like the field-of-flowers look rather than a macro of a single flower.

I really like the DOF of this shot. It almost looks like a tilt shift lens was used. I don't think its too busy. It works very well w/ all the colors mixing together.
