Handheld ISO 200 1/320 sec f8.
Unusual for me I did not use a tripod, it was too tricky, the flower is growing at the base of the waterfall in my garden pond and the tripod was not proving to be an asset and it was breezy in any case so I had to keep trying to get a shot in between gusts.
Cuckoo flower is on of the preferred food plants of the orange tip caterpillar, I used a green brush at a low opacity to help smooth out the background but I deliberately left it with detail to show the surroundings.
All comments welcome.
