Pearl Crescent
« on: August 31, 2021, 08:43:28 pm »

While this is not, technically, a landscape, I hope you will bear with me. Many years ago I shot a wildflower garden story for Oklahoma Today magazine. Every place I photographed gave me seeds so my wife - a superb gardener - started a wildflower garden. When we moved, the wildflowers went with us and they attract lots of little ones in the summer. Here is one - the tiny Pearl Crescent. It's only an inch or so long but it is a beauty and this one visited today. A rule of wildlife photography is not to backlight the critter but they say rules are made to be broken and the backlight here makes the little one glow. Hope you like them.

Great composition and colors. I have yet to find a favorite, though.

I'm not a fan of foregrounds that are out-of-focus, so I definitely prefer the second and third images.

Personally, I'd probably crop them both more tightly, but that's a quibble.
