This image was made on Memorial Day morning and is an intimate floral extraction from my rock garden. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with family and friends.

Wow, this is really excellent. The light is perfect. Did you use a reflector or ????

Lovely shot. Great colors. I have been a fan of Evening Primrose since I took a taxonomy course in Spring 1973. Lots of them grow along the roadside in OK and Texas.

Thanks everyone, your kind words are appreciated.

Ed, this was shot in diffuse natural morning light (thin cloud covering sun). I did not use a reflector or fill flash.

Rod, I'll have to zoom in and look closer tonight. To the best of my knowledge I don't recall seeing any butterflies etc. during my time shooting that morning.

Thanks again everyone.
