Tweedy's Lewisia
I found this clinging to a crack in a little granite cave at head height in the Icicle Canyon last May. No way could I get a tripod situated so this was hand held.

Sony R1, 1/125 sec @f/8, no filters.

Looks like you had some nice soft light to work with. Even though it was handheld, it still looks very sharp. I think it could also make for an interesting macro subject.

The lighting is beautiful on this! Nice comp. Lots of detail in the buds for handheld, nice job.

Mercy! What fine light for this beauty! Nice, nice capture Marc. Can't get any better for handheld. This should go up on Flora! :jump:

I agree, put this one up in flora.

I've never seen this plant before, very cool. The subtle flower color with the shiny green of the leaves is attractive. A blended exposure for full dof would be nice, but not really possible without that tripod.
