One of my first wide angle macro pictures. An Alpine pasqueflower (Pulsatilla alpina) photographed in the Italian Alps (Aosta Valley). Any comments are welcome.

7 commentsI have been using a wide angle lens for some Macro & Close-up shots for the last year or so with great results. The flower is outstanding and I like the sky but I do agree with John on less BG. I could see this working well cropped as a square image and omitting everything to the left of the center of the main tree.
Superb lighting accomplished with your flash . . .
Personally, I need the background with trees, mountains and sky to describe the environment where the flower lives.
