I liked the beautiful symmetry and perfect condition of this spire. This is another one from the group outing last Saturday.

This is beautiful, Dennis. Excellent dof management getting the entire flower and foreground leaves sharp while maintaining a nice clean bg. The light is perfect, and the dew drops are icing on the cake. Excellent all around. :toast:

Dennis: Just perfect! Love the DOF and BG. As you probably know the Texas lupine (bluebonnets) are the state flower and one of my favorite wildflower subjects. Top notch shot. >=))>
