I only stopped to work three different scenes on this hike but I liked this one. The wildflowerrs are past their peak so I am about through with flora for the year--unless there are still some flowers going in the Wind River Range above 10,000 feet in another 10 days.

Very nice contrast in textures and the lighting is excellent. Our alpine flowers are yet to get started, you can always come out to Washington....
I was through the Wind River Range last September and there was so much smoke I could hardly see a thing. Hopefully there won't be a repeat performance this year.

Chad:
Lovely blooms against the texture bg. This reminds me a lot of Gigi's work and I hope you take this as a compliment. It will be sad to see you stop doing flora for the rest of the year as you had posted some excellent works this season.

I really like the differing textures in this one - smooth petals against rough bark. Although I like it as posted, I wonder how it would look if you could crop the flower on the left out, leaving the trio? I haven't commented on your wildflower images this summer, but you've had some excellent images.
