Photo of the Week 2015-07-20

While sitting on the patio at home this weekend, having a relaxing morning in the 30*C heat before heading to an afternoon wedding ceremony, I was drawn to the colourful daylilies in the back garden. It had rained overnight and I thought there might be some water droplet still remaining on the leaves and petals...

... recalling a recent email with a friend about use of macro lenses to capture close up, abstract images, I went for the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro on the 5DIII for some seriously shallow depth of focus, but is was a straight on shot of one blossom that I chose to work with.
