Different Faces of the Same Flower

[PixelRabbit]

Not sure on the ID on this one but I really like them and wondering what they will end up looking like when they are mature.

It was midday and windy so it took some playing, found a couple on the edge of the shade and upped the shutter. I like how these two turned out

C&C always welcome and appreciated.

Added as an edit. Found some neat backlighting later in the day

Edit again, decided it was silly to add that last shot here, making a new thread for it.

Pretty sure it's a purple coneflower. First one is kinda interesting; second one's too underexposed, imo

I like both of these shots, I really like the second one, it has a certain mystery to it....

Thanks Sm4hm, I thought it might be a coneflower but with it so early in blooming I wasn't really sure.
I kinda figured the second one wasn't going to be everyone's cup of tea

Thanks FireDiva I really like "dark" florals but they are a slippery slope and can end up muddy. I think this one is just bordering on it but I like the allllllmost grainy quality of it.

I like both of these.

2 is better in IMHO but could use some brightening.

Thanks Digital Flower

I went back out later in the day to see what the light was doing, added what I found to the OP
