I particularly liked the way this Hawkweed was soaking up the morning sun which was coming in from the left rear. The petals look radiant to me in the sunlight supplemented by a little fill flash. I also like the way the background runs LL to UR while the flower runs LR to UL. Add some water droplets from the overnight rain and I couldn't pass it up.
