A close-up of the delicate petals of a Centaurea montana flower set against a soft green background.

The 2nd image posted on my new look website and it feels good. This was taken during a visit to the Botanical Gardens here in Dublin at the end of May. I decided on this occasion to visit the Alpine Gardens as I rarely spend any time there and I was confident I was missing something. And I was right, I came across this Mountain Cornflower which I had not seen before.

For this image I wanted to go a little abstract. Those that follow my flora work will know I tend to find a focal point and ensure it is in sharp focus. However with this image I decided to work with form and light instead.

What do you think?
