I often forget to get pictures from further away, but I'm always wishing I had when I don't

Ahhh ok Karen. I rarely compose the full body into a shot. I should start just in case I need help with identifying a subject:)

I just meant the macro and the normal view - that's my before and after

Thanks Brian, I will go ahead and name it to what you said. Someone else mentioned the same thing. Thanks Karen. There is no before and after. No post processing involved. Proper lighting, high quality glass and camera with an eye for detail is all that was used.

Amazingly beautiful, but yes the whole image would be much easier for ID purposes... not to mention the whole before/after thing

Looks like the central disk flowers of a Purple Coneflower, Echinacea purpurea
