Serendipity

Sony A700
Minolta 100mm macro
ISO 400, 1/320 @ f5.6

Lots of serendipity here, thus the title. This cleome was not planted here but somehow migrated over 20 yards from a completely unconnected flower bed. The BG is a bed of pansies and the light is barely post dawn and filtered through a fairly dense almond verbena tree. I was really just cruising the garden and as is my usual set up I had the 200mm on board. But to get this POV with the 200 I would have had to grow another foot or two taller so I scrambled back into the house and got the 100mm which was the right tool for the job. Once I got set up I had about 30 seconds with this light. Luck certainly seems to happen to the well prepared but I certainly subscribe to the old adage that its better to be lucky than good. All comments welcome. >=))>
