Taken in Zion National Park. One thing I like about taking spring trips is there is an abundant variety of wildflowers to enjoy and shoot. Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated.

I personally think the image is great, Richard. I like the DOF and the spray of flowers. Only thing I might suggest for the future would be to take a series of images so you could create a panorama so the bottom portion of the flower spray would not be out of focus.
Ran across this article--http://www.gdargaud.net/Photo/Combine.html#Pano--that might be of interest.

I do to do something similar with the Saguaro cactus I'm about to post.

Cheers,

Carol

Beautiful yellows in this Richard and I like the diagonal composition very much. I think you did a good job of taming the bg and i like the tree trunk as the main bg element. Very fine work.

Richard:
Nice yellow flowers. Like how the stem intersect the bg tree. A nice documentary image.
