For doug and pawpet, both like the sharp/blur effects. Photos taken in the last 2 days. Need help to ID the first flower. All comments welcome :)

Need help with the name of this flower

#1

Wedelia

#2

Very crisp and clear shots, but I think the angle for the 2nd shot should be lowered a little to get the full view of the insect's side because from the current angle, the wings are blurred out which isn't very aesthetically pleasing. :)

I love the colors though :D

I love pic #1, care to share your settings?? What's your focal length?

100 mm using 100mm f/2.8 Sony Macro Lens ? ;)

liked the white flower more, perhaps its the contrast with white and green background~* both are good shots... :)
cheers~*

Hi Isaac thanks for the comment, hmm changing the angle changes the view of the flower..my primary objective is actually the flower..but shall look into the new angle if i get the chance again :)

Sure, macro lens at 90mm(cropped factor=135mm). M mode, ISO 200, F8, 1/60 seconds. Shot in the evening before sun set because at this time the light is soft. Focusing was on the yellow anther, exposure for the white petals.

Haha, good lens and good guess but seems like your first guess is wrong Jeff, i'll let you carry on guessing :)

Thanks Benny :) Still got to work hard, still looking for that flower's name haha

May I give the name to the flower ?

How about Keithsantemum ?

It is a nice name, isn't it ?

Hey it rhyme haha..Unless i am the first to discover ths flower, I dare not have a plant named after me, this is a honor to great people. Eg. the pink flower variant of the virgin tree is named after Queen Sirikit of Thailand, well known for her charitable works.

if there is 'Name the Flower' contest, Jeff will win lor...
