I took this shot last autumn on an early frosty morning. The sun was just cresting the horizon causing the frost to evaporate quickly. So I took a few quick snaps where I could, this being one of the better ones. This flower is some common weed that grows around here. The petals were a pale purple in colour but lost most of their colour because of the strong light. Your comments welcomed.

Wendell - The asymmetrical composition is quite nice. With the depth of field, the two branches seen in the blurred background help balance the image. Nice capture! Thad

Wendell, like the shot of the flower; and it is cool. I would have preferred the background to be blurrier; as it stands, it is more distracting than it can be. My 0.02.

Really like this Wendell and all the texture the frost/water droplets add to this delicate flower. Love the framing and capture

Superb focus and lighting on the... weed? I would not consider it a weed :) And all the beads of water on the petals is truly delightful! The background kind of has the look of sponge painting, which is nice. But, I tend to agree with JP, in that I would prefer it more blurry. It's all a matter of opinion though. I really like your framing too. Beautiful capture, Wendell!

I like the clours in this one and the frame sets it of a 100&.
Well done.
