Discovered a small patch of these off a trail on Mt Rainier last week. I included the lower oof one to visually anchor the stem.
Tried to express the vibrant detail of the wildflower.
Some cliffs made a nice contrasty background.

Nice choice of background. Uncommonly good wild flower portrait.

Excellent depth and color. The background really helps this one pop.

I saw some of these babies in the gorge a month ago. I couldn't make the comp work, but it looks like you did a fantastic job.
