This image was photographed at The Smokies in April. All of the small white flowers are Fringed Phacela along the Porter's Creek Trail.

Like it! I like the way the trail winds around and down the hill in the BG, and the colors are lush without being overdone. Nicely seen.

The picture seems to invite you down the trail. Successful comp.

Seems like lots of people try these shots, but only a few come off really well. This is one of those. I like the way the path curves, and the trees aren't too thick, and not too sparse. Exposure and DOF were spot on.

This is very nice. I really love how that wild flower makes such a complete carpet. I also like that hickory to the left.
