Contemplation

            Dahlia - 'Franz Kafka' - Lilac Pink

This was situated in the area where my wife brings on her plants, it was a little baby and couldn't get any closer with the lens so took it in apsc mode. Effectively it is f1.2 at 75mm with a 50mm dof - whatever that is in reality. - it matters not for it produced a nice effect :^)

Contemplation was the title of the first published book of 20th century author Franz Kafka, a collection of 18 short stories published in 1913. He seemed incapable of completing an actual novel and most of his works are short stories. I was going to name the picture 'Metamorphosis' after his most famous work but that transformation was far too grisly for such a beautiful flower......so Contemplation it is.
