Summer Primrose

I really don't think this is a primrose but I didn't know what else to call it. Any comments, criticisms or ID on the plant?

Don't know what it is, but I like the composition and use of depth of field.

Thanks. It's not a standard on PS Elements, but I've been cropping my photos to 16:9 like a widescreen TV and have really liked the results.

I'm careful about DOF, but tend to shoot with the subject in the center AF, then crop and compose in PS.

Thanks again for the kind words.

It's an evening-primrose (actually a different plant from a primrose proper.) It looks rather like a Common Evening-primrose (Oenothera biennis) but could be a low country specialty not in my literature at hand. The family is Onagraceae, in case you want to look it up in a wild flower manual.

Thank you so much Will. I'm still learning the native flora. I've found that once I photograph and ID a plant, I'll recognize it from then on.
