Otherwise, I would have been laying in the mud yet again, to get to this barely-above-ground vantage point.

Sandy, Just frame it large. Beautifully crafted, and the dew drops really make this stand out. Love the colors in the frame. Very well done

Very striking photo Sandy. I love how the background falls off to black

Beautiful lowkey image Sandy...love it...it puts my lowkey Dahlia I just posted to shame. I'm tempted to delete it after seeing yours lol.
I hear you on the tilt screen. I started with a D5000 which had one and I really miss it.

Sandy

Really like this one and the way you used flash to have the background go to black. Perfect for these purple flowers. Makes the image very striking.

Best

A splendid striking image Sandy. I usually don't like flashes in floral photos but here you have done a perfect use of it. Bravo!
