Miterwort (Mitella diphylla)
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 6 May 2008 in Plant & Nature.
These lovely flowers are tiny. I didn't notice the star until I looked at them through the macro lens. Taken at Ferncliff Wildflower Preserve, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. last Thursday.
Constructive critique welcome, as well as just a friendly visit.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Wow, this is really beautiful and simple. I love the depth of field and the way the flower in the middle is turned away and blurred. Again, you've captured some emotion in the flowers.

Love the clarity and simplicity of this image...and the contrast of the yellow and white on green.

One would never notice the petals around the rim of the flower -- like exotic eyelashes. Thanks for sharing these.

How sweet a tiny flower it is!
I'll be checking to see what you show us of Lancaster Cty, one of my very favorite places in the US!

Nice macro Anita. Very well composed. I specially like low contrast.

@Betty: Thanks. This flower was a fun discovery. It didn't look like much of anything to the naked eye.
