Bloodroot Flower Closeup

Another Closeup, similar to the one two entries below this. I backed up just a bit to include a little bit more of the flower. I figured it would be nice to not cut off the stamen toward the top and bottom of the frame. I shifted the center of the flower a little bit more toward the right to avoid too much symmetry. As with all the bloodroot shots from March 30, this is sidelit by the sun, and also diffused to reduced the harshness of the light and therefore reduce the contrast in the image.
