 When I finally got to the farmers market at Rittenhouse Square last Saturday and I was very happy to finally see some cosmos. They were the first of the season and they haven't been bringing them in from their flower farm in Lancaster because the mother....well I'm not sure what she was doing but they were not there prior because of her according to Marcus...or who I call Marcus but I never quite got that right cause I called him Marcus after he told me his name was Marcus and he said his name wasn't Markus.....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I toyed with another light box piece but I did not get anything I liked enought in order to avoid the dreaded backlit flowers. So here you are....the arrangement of the three blooms was dictacted by the fact that none of them are exactly perfect....missing petals, uneven and such...so I did what I could.

Nice image - Nice and sharp but lacking some drama in the lighting as it looks very flat
