A purple coneflower against an out of focus of greens, reds and oranges. Part of my project photographing nature with unusual lenses. In this case a cheap, no name 300mm mirror lens I picked up for the project. The lens is labeled Albinar which seems to be a brand that labels a variety of products without actually making anything.
