Taken near the end of a sweet anniversary weekend my wife and I spent in the Monterey area, at my favorite venue on the entire Pacific coast (San Diego to Vancouver).
The real challenge here was capturing this lithe, weightless petaled bowl's pose between unpredictable buffets of soft and sometimes stiff breezes; the slightest movement beneath the macro lens' extreme magnification and the inversely proportional shallow depth of field presented significant challenges to both patience and execution.
