May Apple Blossom

Gallery: FloraPosted May 4, 201040 views4 comments

This little flower was growing nestled amongst many more of its kind. Fort Duffield Memorial State Park, West Point, Kentucky, USA.
The light was fading very quickly and I felt it necessary to use my flash, however, I liked this one, inparticular. Hope you do as well. C&C always welcome. Thanks for viewing.

Mary: I generally don't care much for or shoot with flash other than for fill but you carried this off pretty well. Beautiful subject well captured. >=))>

Nice capture Mary, the white really stands out against the black BG. My crab apple trees are already finished blooming, unfortunately, I was away during most of the bloom. Nicely done.

Nice capture Mary. The detail and sharpness in the center really look good. Nice job with the flash also; the whites look great.

Great focus on the center and flash well handled. The dark background puts the focus back on the flower. Nice photo.
