I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Very soothing image. The colors and pattern show a calming mood for me. Well done!

Isolated in the crowd. The image is very pleasant with variations of white going smoothly out of focus from the center of interest.

@Earnest: Why Thank You, Earnest! I think I'm growing as a macro photographer, which is quite fun.

I'm used to thinking of Yarrow as that mass of flowers at the end of the stalk (too often growing where we don't want it). Thank you for letting me in on just how lovely the individual flowers are. Neat the way you've captured different stages in the emergence of the central blossoms within the white petals.
