Chrysanthemum
5 I like the way this image is completely different and reveals some variety. I particularly like the way Ant picked up the cobweb with some bits in it – this is a good example of the photographer looking slightly beyond the immediate subject. By not getting obsessed with perfection, Ant has found something equally interesting. The relatively narrow depth of field also captures a lot of important detail. Possibly the other flower or seed cap in the background is a bit distracting; it mimics the main subject, so it works graphically, but I would have tried to find a cleaner shooting angle.’ Nikon D700, 60mm macro lens, 1/125sec at f/16, ISO 1600
