Along the north shore of Lake Superior (Minnesota) -in late June to early July- one may come upon this striking wildflower. Imaged with
Hasselblad CM and normal lens at f5.6,ISO 100 Velvia film.

I like the color palette in this Jeff. I particularly like the different shades of green as a bg for the flowers. The flowers seem a little washed out to me by the light and I also think that for my tastes, I'd prefer them all in sharp focus - even if that forced you to take the bg into focus as well. That may just be me, I tend to like landscapes even with fg subject emphasis all in focus.
