A delicate pink meadow flower about the size & shape of half an eggshell. Something, probably caterpillars, finds them delicious and eat only the upper third of the petals, in a straight line. It looks like someone took scissors and snipped away the top of the flowers. The untouched ones are very lovely though. Shot hand held with the Canon 100mm IS Macro lens & a ring flash for fill light. Bright afternoon sunlight is causing the faint shadows on the back of the flower, but the strobe dominates at short range.

I am always amazed at pictures, like this one, that are so well photographed. I always have trouble with wind and movement. But, here, that does not faze you as you present such a well focussed and clear shot.

Quite beautiful, Russ. Had ring lights for many years, with my film cameras but rarely used them. Just didn't do that many close/macro type shots back then.
Guess it's time to get another, as they are great for flowers, insects etc.

Thank you for all the nice comments.
This kind of shot is why I really love close-up photography. To show the overlooked world around us and the beauty that's hidden in plain sight. It's all in the presentation.
