I took this pic last year, on my way out to Utah in May '08. At the time, I had just purchased my first dSLR (the Oly E-410 in April) and was taking pictures of everything (still hasn't changed). I think I was stopping at a rest stop somewhere in IL, and had ventured beyond the fence because I heard running water. I remember looking to my left and the sun had just broken through the canopy of the trees right on these white flowers. I've been looking at it more recently and it's growing on me. I think the only PP was converting RAW to .jpg.

Please C&C to your heart's desire.

The lighting is interesting along with the dark green and contrasting white flower. The light highlights certain interesting features drawing your eye. However, the OOF stick in the center is detracting from the composition. Without the stick you could crop down to focus on the white flowers while including some of the green foliage and dark background.

Thanks for commenting and good points. I think I may have another angle on this... time to dig up the old DVDs with the RAW files. If I don't, maybe I'll give my cloning abilities a whirl.
