Our neighber has planted this flower in front of a Telephone Transfer Box between our lots...Last year I made a Color Pencil effect, This year I kept it "El-Natural"...
Olympus E-510, ZD 40-150 mk1 at 150 and closet focus (4.8 feet) at ISO 800 and F/7.1.
Side note: I was in Fla for a weekend, I had ordered a Plus 2 Close-Up lens (B&W NL2), But, when I got back, the flowers were gone..
I love Purple in flowers..
