Purple Daisy
posted Thursday, 14 November 2013, 20:02 (+0800), by Martin
Occasionally I like to go through some of my older photos, and look for things that I may have missed when I originally took the photos. Here is one from a school excusions I attended with my younger son, at Cohuna Wildlife Park.
I believe this is a Osteospermum, from the daisy family Asteraceae.

Great use of shallow depth of field - love the contrasting colours, and how the edges of the petals are soft while the center of the flower is clear. How much post-processing was involved with this shot?

@Richard: minimal post-processing was done with this photo - only a bit of adjustment to contrast and saturation.
