I don't know if this belongs here but since it took place on a hike in the woods I suppose it fits here as well as anywhere.

Here was a pleasant surprise on my hike in the woods today. Again, I haven't a clue the variety of flower here but I know beauty when I see it. :)

    Awesome shot!

    Yah, Journeys is for longer posts with descriptive text about the journey. I've moved this to Other Cool Shots. thumb.gif

    Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

    I like the detail, the comp, and the color. Very nice!

    The flowers are rhododendrons. They may be Rhododendron calendulaceum (AKA FlameAzalea), which is native to the Appalchians from New York to Georgia.

    Love the way you captured the shot - the darker greens framing the warm, textured flowers.

    Thank you for your comments. That's very astute of you to notice that technique. I've been seeking out darker contrasting backgrounds in my photography of late. I love the color saturation it causes. I've also gone to underexposing a lot of nature shots to gain the same effect.
