I found a few stands of Dutchmans Breeches and inspite of the breezy morning decided to try for a close-up.

Canon EF100 Macro USM
Tripod,live view, cable release
RAW converted
This is a large crop.

Hello John,the white part of the flower lack some sharpness for detail or did you do some selective focus. :wavey:

I like the image, and the way it stands out from the BG. My preference would have been for the front of the bud to be in focus as opposed to the rear, but you got the tip in focus which counts the most.
