Flowers from a bouquet are usually neatly arranged with their petals in an uniform orderly manner. They look very aesthetic. Unlike the well arranged flowers, this particular individual was shot in wild during a hike in the mountains sometime back in August. This is surely not an exotic species but these flowers were looking so fresh & full of life - raw & wild.
Chose to look for a back-lit angle.

Never thought of posting it initially because I thought, the BG was not so 'clean'. But then on second thoughts I liked the OOF grass blades & some spots of OOF reflections in the frame.
Not sure if this works for you.
Would like to know your views...
