Shooting Star

[rkemmerlin]

One of my favorite flowers from a favorite location, Steven's Creek, located just north of North Augusta.

It is a great little flower. Patrick McMillan has some outrageous video footage of "buzz pollination" of this species explaining how the bees get pollen from those tubular anthers!

Beautiful Robert, and wonderful control of the whites and such a great BG. Super shot!

Really nice detail on the 'tubular anthers' (thanks Will) Robert. Also a nice clean background. I like it.

I've never seen this flower before, but you did a great job with it.

Are those sensor dust spots I'm seeing?:D Really like the soft shadows on the petals. Gives the flower depth. The background works nicely too...the gradient from brown to green is cool.
