Indian blanket flower

I shot this last year in the Gyp Hills of southern Kansas. My mom was my assistant with this one - she held the bloom in place to steady it in the windy conditions.

Angela: Love the angle of the flower and your placement in the frame. Pretty nice BG as well.

Somewhat of a different angle, but a very nice photo. Can't decide if the close petal should be in focus or just like you have it. Thanks for posting.

Angela, I remember to have seen this photo before or may be a similar version. I like the slanted composition forming a T with the flower. Nice !
