Definitely the second one for me. The lower depth of field highlights the flowers more, lovely shot. The flower is called a Thrift and is found in coastal areas. We have them a lot around here aswell.
Nice, and has already been said, its a plant called “Thrift” Aka “Sea Pink”…. so that should be easy to remeber seeing its pink and grows beside the beside.
Larger image sizes are better too to see more detail.
I’m having to play around at the moment with image size, I’m linking to flickr where these are sited, and the different image sizes are confounding me. This I think is Medium whereas the Large is about 1024+ so end up too big. Trying to find a way of uploading so I can find a happy medium.
