I was puzzling over whether this was a chrysanthemum or a dahlia. By the shape of the leaves, I think it is the former. Anyway, I like taking this type of shot where a flower is separated from its leaves by making the background out of focus. In addition, if you use the flash on an overcast day, the flower will come out brightly coloured while the background will be very dark or even black. The double contrast in both focus and colour can produce quite a dramatic effect. To me, this looks more like a jellyfish swimming in the deep sea than a flower, but then maybe I have too vivid an imagination.
