Mountain Dew

Well, more like mountain showers really, but that title doesn't work as well. :biggrin:

I found this aster last summer at Long Lake after a morning rain had come through.

5D, tripod, polarizer, shutter release, f/8, 1/125, iso100

C&C welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

Beautifully simple! Nice crisp detail & the dark green BG is perfect. A square format was definitely the right choice!

Very nice color and detail Morris, and it sits very well against the black BG. Well done.

Delicious, Morris ! Wonderful droplets, perfect dof and great colour - and I love how the flower floats in the centre of the frame.

Nicely and simply shown. I wish for a bit more DOF to get all the petals in focus.
