Hi all,
Haven't posted for awhile. Got preoccupied with other projects. These purple aster wildflowers were growing near Paradise on Mt. Rainier in the summer. Not sure about the comp, but I tried to convey a sense of how the asters were growing in the field, while drawing the eye to the dominant flower.

As I just posted to Ned, its nice to get these reminders of summer :cool: . I like the color here, and the diagonal flow. The center flower is very nice. My taste would be for the foreground flower to be either in focus or more out of focus.

I'd crop out the top OOF flower to make the in focus flower a stronger subject. Nice light on the main in focus flower.
