I agonized over entering a flower into the Fair competition. Flowers and landscapes are by far the most entered categories (and Sunrise / Sunset I suppose). Also, a couple of years ago I made the now very famous statement to my friends “I don’t do flowers”.
One of my first flowers March 4, 2009. This one taken on January 31, 2010 for a square crop assignment on the Martin Bailey Photography forum.
Well deserved. This is a gorgeous image.
