Description
This gorgeous example of Dames Rocket (wild phlox) was captured in my daughter's Maryland backyard in late May. As the dense clump of buds suggest, this glorious wildflower was just getting started. Other specimens nearby were farther along, but had much darker blooms and simply weren't as pretty. The light violet color made the fine details in the blooms readily apparent. This image was captured with a 200mm zoom lens, so the depth of field in this image is natural and nicely emphasizes the sharply focused blooms in the foreground and as a happy side-effect creates a 3D effect.
This image has been featured 11 times: In the "Four Seasons", "Mid-Atlantic States Of The USA", "Only Blooms And Flowers Photography", "Showcasing The South", "The Top 50 Features", "Just Perfect", "New FAA Uploads...", "For The Love Of Flowers", "Macro Marvels", "Photographic Camera Art", and "The Outdoor Photographer" groups.
