Who am I?

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted March 9, 201165 views5 comments
Here's my post for this week's challenge.

I'm not sure how easy or hard this will be because I see these all the time. The subject itself is widely photographed but this particular time of year is not its most photogenic.

I originally didn't take this for the weekly challenge and in fact most people may not like the narrow DoF but I liked it for its photo art feel.

Cristina,
I use the short dof a lot so I do like what you have done here. I am a landscaper in S.C. so I see this regularly but not quite as dramatic as you have captured.

Looks more like a hydrangea to me :wink:
My folks used to have these in their garden. Neat shot--although i think it would look just as 'artsy' with more DOF :wink:

Christina,

You need to add our state to the --Where am I from? thread. It's in the General discussion forum.

The Canadian provinces are kicking our butts. My friend from BC says if we get some Newfies, we're sunk
