Captured this beauty while hiking a trail along the Skagit River in the North Cascades near my home.
This was taken in the wild. Though it looks to be it is not a studio shot. Worked with the light as presented.

SONY a900
Minolta 200mm F4 macro
CP
Remote release for 2" delay to lock mirror
ISO 800 (windy)
F18 @ 1/30"

C&C most welcomed!

What Bob said

- terrific shooting angle to get that petal plane flat with perfect DOF.

Beautiful shot Tim. Great color, detail, light, and DOF. I kinda wish the FG green stem/vine wasn't there, but that's just me nit picking. I do very much like natural shots and all the challenges they bring. On that note, very well done.
