The lighting, the framing, and the focus are all very well executed, jackm! It really brings out subtle details in the color.
Did you use flash? There’s enough light in the background that if you did it must have been fill. Beautifully done, however you arrived there!
Thank you Jared. No flash, never tried flash with a 4x5 camera. I have 6x6 and 6x7 roll film holders for my 4x5 cameras and used them frequently back in the day. I can't remember which 4x5 it was but think it was a Super Graphic. I had it pretty much on the ground. The flower was located in a grassy area in Preparation Canyon. These flowers are less than a foot tall so one has to get the camera very low which is pretty tricky with a view camera but can be done. I was a lot more flexible back then. 😁
