lupine @ sugar hill NH

This photo was taken this weekend (6/11) in the field on Rt 117 at St. Matthews Church. It was taken with a Canon 20D, on a tripod with a 100mm Canon macro lens. It was not peak for the lupine bloom which made it ore challenging to come up with an interesting composition from the flowers that were in bloom. I like the rain droplets on the flowers and leaves.

Lisa, Very pleasing shot. Water drops on the leaves, the Lupine on the right bending as if to meet the one on the left make this picture interesting for me.

Regards

Very well done. I like flower closeups where the important elements are all sharply focused. Here there are some leaves and a stem that are oof but with other leaves sharp those oof parts have little impact. Terrific green mottled oof background too. ...David
