An older image from 2013. One of the late bloomers, these appear in Jean Lafitte NP consistently in September. Been going through some of my older Olympus files looking at those shot with the 50-200 (such a versatile lens), so I recently got a used replacement for my original to use with my E-3. Full frame cropped to 4x5 from top.

E-5 ZD50-200 +EC14 Manfrotto on GT2531, ISO 100 1/20 f8 -1/3EV

Beautiful - great colours, perfect perspective, sweet BG, tack-sharp and even a few dew drops. .
A tiny nit is the dead-end stem on the lower left. If it was mine, and I was going to print it , I'd clone that out, and also the little dark bug hiding in the upper buds.
Excellent work!

Nice pastels here Bill. We love Jean Lafitte too. Barataria was an interesting hike a few years back with a mother gator and her clutch hanging out on the boardwalk.
