Wild flowers getting ready to open. They remind me of fireworks going off. This was taken in Negro Bill Canyon near Moab, UT. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

Very nice...Reminds me of July 4th Fireworks

. Great exposure for the whites and clever use of the DOF.

I love the pov, it really shows off the radiating individual blossoms. Good dof, also. Great image

I like the energy in this one Richard. Strong composition and a fine image for my tastes.

Hi Richard! The title fits this image quite well. I like the white opening blooms against the very nice BG color. Good DOF choice and excellent exposure on the whites.

The light, dof, and bokeh make this such a pleasing image. Very beautiful.

Richard: Very cool POV and a fine capture. I like your subject/BG separation and how it implies the explosiveness of the comp. Very nicely done.>=))>
