David, the soft shadows gives this flower great dimension. And you maintained detail in the petals very well. It's a gorgeous flower.

Love the image! That is one strange bloodroot. The multiple layers of petals make me wonder if it is a cultivar of some kind. I have never seen one remotely like this in the wild.

Skip,
This was a wild plant rescued from a woodland about to be built on.

VERY fine photo. I have to agree w/ Skip that is an unusual flower for a Bloodroot but there's not another leaf shaped like that of Bloodroot anywhere. I'd be interested to kn ow whether it looks the same last & next year, I found some 4-leaved Trilliums but they were normal the following years. Dave

Classic, David. This is my favorite flower because it is one of the first to appear in abundance in the spring, and I have always found it to be among the most beautiful. Wonderful job, as usual, from you.
