For those of us in the north country eagerly awaiting the spring wildflower arrivals.

A very tiny flower, these were only about 1/4 inch across the petal diameter.

These are indeed tiny flowers. Great job of getting one this sharp.

Beautiful flower. I don't think I've ever seen this kind before. Great capture. I like that there is one in the BG.

An excellent image that I have enjoyed viewing. I like the fact that you included the OOF background flower in such a way as to mirror the main subject extremely well. A simple technique perhaps, but I bet it was not easy to achieve.

Best Regards
Matthew

Robert,
This is one of my favorite flowers! You did a wonderful job with it. I have seen, occasionally, what I call a reverse version of these where the flower is white with pink spots, growing in the midst of all the pink ones.

The color is perfect and the flower is nice and crisp. Well done!
