We have a fairly large stand of cleome in our garden that have pretty much self propagated. I find them challenging to shoot but liked this POV early in the morning with the dew fresh and the light just coming up. All comments welcome.>=))>

I also find cleome tough to shoot Bill. We had a type called 'Senorita Rosalita' in our yard one year. They are cool plants but hard to shoot. I think you did great here. Nice color and the dew drops are a nice bonus. Excellent all around.

I really like the dew and the colors, Bill. Nice specimen, too, and I agree about these flowers being tough to shoot, I've never got an image of them that I'm happy with, myself. This is very well done!
