well, for what it's worth, i didn't know what it was called before you mentioned it.. ;D lovely shot.. :)
I also never knew that. Love the DOF on this.
Now that is some shallow depth! Great contrast with the background. Lovely detailed.
We used to pick huge bouquets of Queen Anne's Lace and other wildflowers when I was a kid. My great grandmother loved them! Or maybe she was just glad to get us out of the house. Either way, nice pic!
The depth of field leaves one wanting more of the background.
@terrorkitten...Thanks Phil for your visits and comments.
I have quite a few shots of this mill. It is pretty symbolic and synonymous with the town where it is located. But the photos are so common. It is a popular place and is often photographed and has been photographed from probably every conceivable angle and condition so i was trying for something a bit different hence the shallow depth of field. I wanted to portray a mere suggestion of the mill in the distance.
what I love in this picture is the beautifully suggested background.Very sensitive
Beautiful!
Very nice depth of field and sharpness. The red mill is in great contrast to the white blossom.
Lovely bokeh.
Doesn't look wild it looks cute ;)
Love the dof.
Hmmm - I never knew that either. I assume the roots are somewhat edible?
@Mark...you know I am not sure. It was used as an ancient herbal remedy and was shown to have some contraceptive properties, but it closely resembles a poisonous species of water hemlock so I think I would pass on eating it.
