One of my neighbors down the street has some very nice ones, which I just so happened to photograph today.

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis). Canon FTb, Canon 50mm f3.5 macro, Kodachrome 25. These were really challenging to photograph, blazing white, and hard to pick up the delicate venation in petals if even slightly over-exposed. This one is pretty good I think.

I love the glow on this image, colors are almost unreal.

Thanks. It was really sunny this afternoon and I had to 'dim' the image a little bit to get the center of the flower to show up better. I'm typically SOOC shooter so this was not my normal image.
