JUNE 2012 - UP CLOSE

A flower I found yesterday, growing amongst tangled grass on the riverbank near where I live. Not sure if it's some sort of daisy Only less than half-an-hour or so before I took this picture, I discovered "Toy Mode" on the GXR. Well! I love this scene mode with its vignetting effect, and it will become a favourite of mine, I think . I didn't need to do any PP to this picture, and what you see is an original, straight out of the camera jpeg. I also did a B&W version in camera, and choosing between the two was very difficult. In the end, I wanted to show the beautiful colours of this flower, which look even more striking against the all-green background.

I found this detail during my first walk with my S10. This is one of the eight cast bronze panels of cathedral doors made by Italian sculptors that displays artistic representations of the history of the cathedral which was damaged and destroyed several times by earthquakes and the WWII since the original cathedral was built in 15th century.
