Turks Cap Lily for all you Summer flower lovers ;)
Well I know Richard B. says he doesn't like the summer months, well I'd have to agree that Spring and Fall are more photogenic, however, there are some fine summer flowers to be photographed.
This Turks Lily on Frying Pan mountain was captured during my get together with Leann and Alice.
Canon 20D, Canon 24-105L, tripod, polarizer, spot metered

This is why you pushed past us in search of one in a darker spot-Nice going :wink:

Great shot Nick. I like the way you have isolated the subject. Would you consider dodging the dark stamen on the left?

Les, thanks for that advice, that's definitely worth a go ;).

Beautiful! You found some good light!

Summer. Phooey! :biggrin:

Nice capture, Nick. I particularly like your composition with the stem forming a diagonal, leading to the flower in the URC. I agree with Les about the dodging.
