White Sands allows very little in the way of flowers.

I think for this one I would have like a lower POV so that the flower seemed more like the subject. I like the positioning of the subject in the frame.

Rick: While I liked the shadows in the earlier post here I think they have an overall negative effect since you have to have a relatively wide angle to include it completely in the frame and it ends up being larger than the subject. A tighter crop of the flower under more even illumination would work better for me for this subject. >=))>

I like the tension between the plant and its shadow. Those two and the white sand makes for a nice graphic image.

This looks like a great find. I like the shadow echoing the strong structure of the plant. I do wish your dof had included the bg sand in focus. The texture of the sand is a nice canvas for the flower
