Rowena Wildflowers
by Kevin Pieper
This is taken just east of Hood River, OR. First time I've been out there, and the flowers seem a bit stunted in size. Nice that both the lupine and balsamroot are in bloom at the same time, as it is not always the case. This particular morning was one of those 'almost' sunrises, where the sky tried to change, but just a bit too much cloudcover.

This is awesome, Kevin!! I love the drama, too. But, in this case, I think the cloud cover really made the colors in the flowers POP! Great depth of field, focus, colors, everything! Bravo!

This just shows you do not need sunshine to get a great photo in the Pacific Northwest! Way to go!

Great use of the rule of thirds! Nicely done!

Great image Kevin. As a variation you could have gone much closer to the purple flowers to see what happens.
Would also like you to give us some equipment details.

A good rule for taking flowers is to focus on one in the foreground, not necessarily in the center; it would make for better composition. Otherwise its a good shot.

nice shot over all, the colors which i like most are very good. The clouds give this shot a special effect and contrast.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Pauline, I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but the foreground flowers are sharp as a tack. You should see the print!

Kevin, this is spectacular! Was it taken in that hilly section from the viewpoint? It’s one of the most colorful areas of broad-leafed Columbia Gorge lupine I know of.
The sky is washed out, but I think it worked to your advantage, because the star of the show is the flowers. Your work is beautiful!

I love wild flowers and make spring and summer are more beautiful. In this picture, the view even more beautiful with the water scenary as background.

I live in the sun-drenched U.S. South, and I love overcast settings. Maybe that’s why I totally appreciate this photo! Exciting flowers in a calm setting. Wonderful! I’ve noticed when taking wild flower photos that a dark background makes for a good balance.
