I wanted a Jack & the Beanstalk perspective on this fireweed plant so I put the camera on the ground.

Excellent idea to shoot the fireweed from this POV, Gary.  With such a crowded profusion of colorful flowers, I always had a difficult time trying to make a composition of them;  this is a good lesson.  Nice comp, and excellent control of the bright light.

Fireweed is such an eye catching flower and your low pov here really sets off the bloom and buds by placing them against a lovely, inviting sky.
