This image was taken at about 6000 feet in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Lots of moisture this year, so lots of wildflowers. Just spent ten days in the Black Hills, great time.

This is really nice Richard. Fine comp and I like the dof decision. To my eye, the dark curving stem running behind the petals on the viewers right is just a little distracting. Other than that, I like this very much.

Richard:
This is beautiful. The blue is nicely shown with good details. I also like the bg bokeh a lot. Well done.

Richard, there is nothing I don't like about this. Well chosen settings.

Very nicely done Richard. The flowers stand out beautifully against the green background.

Richard: What a lovely pair and a great find. I envy your moisture. We're still in severe drought conditions and the wildflower season in Texas was almost a total bust

. Beautiful subjects superbly captured. >=))>
