A native, spring, woodland wildflower here in Pennsylvania, USA.
A few words about the EXIF data. 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.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

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.

Very graceful. I like the bokeh it is very complimentary to the simple minimalist composition.

Love the composition on this one, with the super shallow dof and the beautifully blurred background. :)

Almost as wonderful as your stunning flowers is that you always know their names! ;-)

Marvelous image, Anita. The dark bokeh background really adds impact and beauty to the flower.

These babies make you get way down low. I think the flower looks great and the background looks good. I feel this particular species lends its well to a vertical composition. This may very well be my favorite early spring wildflower.

Don't trout lilies look like they are dancing when they eventually open up?
