This is a black-and-white photograph of a single coneflower. The flower has a dark, spiky, dome-shaped center that contrasts with its soft, drooping petals, which appear pale in the monochrome image. The background is blurred, creating a dreamy, gentle atmosphere that makes the flower the clear focal point. The textures are striking—the sharpness of the cone’s spikes against the smooth, delicate petals gives the photo depth and interest. The overall mood is calm and contemplative.

This image shows a close-up photograph of a coneflower (Echinacea). The flower has a prominent, spiky, cone-shaped center that is dark brown at the base and covered in tiny, glowing orange tips, giving it a fiery appearance. Surrounding the cone are long, narrow petals that droop downward gracefully. The petals are soft shades of pinkish-purple, fading toward lighter tones near the edges. The background is softly blurred with a mix of green and yellow hues, which makes the flower stand out sharply in the foreground. The overall effect is dreamy and painterly, with delicate focus that emphasizes the cone while giving the petals a slightly soft, almost ethereal appearance.

Vintage Lens. I love both renditions. Which do you prefer?

Today's walk on the sea front didn't disappoint. Here's a #PeregrineFalcon taking a perch on the cliff top; a #Cormorant drying off and #EurasianOysterCatcher ....not exactly catching oysters!
