Fallen Angel
Uploaded: April 12, 2005 06:19:23
Shot in Honor Heights Park in Muskogee, OK with 100mm macro. This pink dogwood blossom had fallen during the overnight storm onto a lichen covered boulder. I repositioned it so that it would lay flat for my shot. Minimal post processing in PSCS.

Wow, this is IT, huh?? I guess I better run back over there and see if I can find it to preserve it for future generations. When I saw your title, I was afraid it was going to be a shot of one of us flat on the ground or something. LOL..Carla Metzler April 12, 2005
