Such a beautiful yellow buttercup...set on the dark green.

@Marcie: Thanks. I like the contrast also.
Very pretty, Anita. The subject is sharp and the background perfect... I too have a dilemma in mowing my "lawn" sometimes...

@Earnest: We keep reducing the size of our lawn. This year we are letting parts of the back lawn grow tall in areas away from the house where I tend to throw dry seedheads. In past years we were not able to to this as my son was in charge of mowing, but, since he is off to college, we can do as we want. :-)
The buttercup really stands out against the background, very well done.

@Betty: Thank you, Betty. Yesterday I received the new macro lens I ordered from B&H: a Minolta f2.8 100mm Macro, and immediately went outside to take photos. I'm so excited!
That new lens paid for itself with this one shot! A beautiful composition, Anita, and the bokeh is like a dreamscape...

@Ron: Thank you, Ron. You are correct about the bokeh--that and the narrow depth of field were the first things I noticed. However, it will take way more than one photo for this lens to "pay for itself." :-)
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around.
Sorry couldn't resist. :) Terrific macro image, Anita

@Arash: Thank you. One reason I take photos is to see inside little flowers I don't otherwise see.
focus and color is ok with good composition
