Zoomed Morning Dew Sunflower

I took the prior sunflower image (Morning Dew Sunflower) and did a crop that focuses on the dew resting on the petals. I intended for this to be used as a background on my computer so I wanted to extend out into the blurred background.

Morning Dew Sunflower

A single sunflower with morning dew. McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area - located in Poolesville, MD late July. I wanted to make the yellow really stand out. My main focus was to make it feel as though the flower is right in front of you by bringing out the yellows and reds. I also wanted to make the water pop out.

Entered C&O Trail via West Willard Road (McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area). My husband wandered up the trail while I was swapping lenses and I snapped this. I tried to emphasize the light coming through the trees onto the trail.
