I've noticed several clumps of paler harebells this year, with some approaching white. This was one of the closer ones.

5Diii, 180mm f3.5 macro, tripod. f18, 1/60, iso 1000, Av mode with -1/3 compensation. Processed in CS6. Cropped just a bit to 18.6MP. Taken July 2nd at 7:15 am on our local prairie preserve.

Your comment sand criticisms are most appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Gorgeous flowers Dennis. You got the white just right IMO. Love all the early morning dew on them. Adds to the delicate nature of the image. Nicely composed and exposed. I might be tempted to add just a little more room on the right. May just be me.

I agree with Peter. Nicely captured, Dennis, and the dew puts it over the top. You mentioned this is cropped a bit. If you have any more space on the right, you could add some.

Dennis - Wonderful photo as mentioned by so many others before me. Dew puts this over the top as does the good DOF to cover both the blooms.

One more vote for more space on the right.

A lovely image. I like the composition althuogh a bit more space on the right would definitely benefit the image.
