I took this shot a couple of years ago along Loyalhanna creek in SW PA. The cardinal flowers were really in their glory on this steamy hot morning.

comments welcome

Sony R1, 14mm, f/14 @160, 3-shot combo

thanks for looking and please especially check out the larger version as I had to use a lot of compression on this one.

Beautiful red flowers and I really like the atmospheric conditions. Streaks of light coming in on the left add to the image very nicely. Great work Robert.

A great image, with the trenchant rays and steam putting this over the top.

Love this flower and this is a lovely scene with the streaks of sunlight moving down from the sky. Well handled dynamic range too

Robert, as good a shot that incorporates cardinal flower as any I have seen. Like the lightbeams in the background.

I like this, Robert--some tricky light but you handled it quite nicely!

Lovely light and color. And the light beams add a lot for the mood.

A very tranquil scene, captured nicely. The rays of light are really special.

Ahh Pennslyvania. I just love it! The light is lovely and the flowers add a colorful and unique touch. I think I would have preferred a higher composition if possible, but this quite enjoyable.
