Texas Bluebonnet

Uploaded: September 04, 2012

Description

Canon 24-105 mm at 70 mm. f/5.6, 1/500 second, ISO 160. The rising sun was illuminating the bloom from the left, and I used a reflector on the right to fill in the shadows. A macro image of a brick was blended into the image; the texture was masked from the the bloom and the leaves.
