    Okay, that went well. And I culled the trillium shots from 13 to just 3. Now's the hard part — WHICH ONE OF THE THREE! Interesting angle vs. classic face-on shot, vs. the one highlighted by the sun. What do you think?

    I mentioned a few times that I hate shooting flowers. They're beautiful by default, don't require much skill and don't tell any story.

    So why am I posting this one?

    See, I spotted it on a recent hike, and it's the first time I've seen a purple one, not the regular white. I didn't have a camera with me at that time, and had decided to let it go. But then I felt I really wanted to shoot that particular flower.

    Deep purple trillium flower against a backdrop of its own big green leaves. The shot is made from a 3/4 angle, not face-on. One of the three petals is slightly bent down.

    (cont…) So today I woke up early, made a trip back to that trail, found the flower and… realized I was almost late, as it is now a much deeper purple color! It was a very light lavender just two days ago. I'm guessing it's going to die pretty soon.

    So I'm extra happy now that I was able to catch it :-)
