This is a simple study aided largely by a spectacular sunset filling up the sky. I wanted to celebrate leaves as the essential - if often relegated to background - Tao counterbalance to the beautiful dogwood flowers. Have a terrific day!

Scott, I keep coming back to this photo. It is simple but it holds so much, it makes me wish I could see more of the sky that inspired you. Dogwoods are our state tree and make our neighborhoods look like fairy lands when they're in bloom. I love this shot for many reasons!

I love the background, it's what makes an already nice photo into a special one :)

I really like the DOF used for the sky, it's beautiful. Maybe it would have been better if we could see the flower from front, but the sky really worth the picture. Good work Scott! :)
