Dimorphotheca ecklonis

Day 106 of my 365 Photo Challenge.

The sun shone mercilessly today. I was quite happy when I discovered this Bornholm daisy in a shady place.

This time I used my Nikkor 70-200mm f.2.8 VR2 lens again to photograph this beautiful flower.

Although I set an aperture of f8, only the centre of the flower is in focus, and the edges of the petals are softly falling off.

The completely out of focus background isolates the flower from distracting image elements.

I hope you like it!
