Image was taken fairly early morning just as a fog lifted and the sun was trying to come through. The bright Colorado sunshine is usually fairly harsh, so it was nice to play with diffuse lighting for a change.

A lovely image somewhat spoiled in my eyes by what appears to be an unnatural pattern of moisture as if the petals have recently been misted. A challenge that is about capturing flowers in a meadow or garden to me means capturing them in their natural form, so you loose a couple of points on that basis.

ETA: I was at Point Reyes, CA today as the persistent fog lifted (only briefly). I now know that one can photograph a plant covered with a layer of fine drops of moisture under those circumstances. Regret I did not know this when I made my comment earlier

Not overly keen on the processing style for the subject, but nonetheless, a good photo.

excellent detail and water to boot...BG is a little "odd", but still pleasing

For some reason, the fact that the top part of the flower is out of focus, bothers me.
