Prairie ragwort, shot at Wilson Lake, Kansas a couple weeks ago. I really liked the sidelight on this bunch of cheery blooms.

Angela: Delightful blooms and a delightful scene. It looks a little dark on my monitor, especially for a sunlit shot. Well seen and captured. >=))>

Beautiful composition, Angela. I like the strong sidelight too, but is looks unnaturally dim in this presentation. I like the way the background flowers gradually go out of focus.

Very nice indeed Angela, really like the composition and the way the flowers fade into the BG.

I like the way you composed this and the sense that the blooms are reaching toward the sky. Like the others, I agree you have some room to brighten it a bit more.

Angele, other than brightening the frame a little bit, I love this shot. Great grouping
