Parry Primrose

Taken with a 4x5 view Camera while on a 10-day backpack trip in the Wimenuche Wilderness Area in SW Colorado. The stream is Vallecito Creek, which is the headwaters of the Vallecito Reservoir. Sorry, I meant to post this in the Random Picture thread.

That is very nice Charlie...I just have one problem with it -- the pink flower although beautiful in its own right, should have been down a little bit, don't you think?

Well, yes, if I wanted the composition to be controlled by the blossom itself, but if I'd done that, some of the plant would have been truncated at the bottom. I used the 1/3 principle to plan the composition, using the entire plant, not just the blossom.

Edit: You make a good point, Mom. I could have lowered it about 3 inches in the scene.
