The background really makes this one sing. Light on dark contrast works so well here. Very well done!

In heavy bloom around these parts right now as well Charles. Mostly referred to as Queen Ann's Lace around here. Not as easy to photograph up close as one may think due to the large delicate blooms. The total out of focus background is wonderful, it is an odd color, not bad or anything just different. Good job on the depth of field, nice shot.

Thanks for the comments.
I've always known it as Queen Anne's lace too, Brad. Apparently that's a U.S. convention. Seems there's something else in England they call QAL. I'd have called it "wild carrot" here but this didn't seem all that "wild" somehow.
