Ok so it’s the common skunk cabbage but with the cold weather and snow we’ve had around her the last couple of weeks it is the only thing I could find that looks like a flower. The hood of the cabbage protects the flower by keeping the 30 degrees warmer than the surrounding air. I like the photo but think it needs something. Comments will be welcome.

Philip,

How might the image have looked if you had used a polarizing filter? I sorta like the busy-ness of the photo, but also find the reflections to be distracting - a lot of white that, to me, distracts from the greens, browns, reds, etc.

Tim!
