Image
Canon EOS 20D
Cannon 180 Macro upon Tripod
ISO: 400, F11 @ 1/100 sec
12” Reflector
PS levels adjustments applied

Just a pretty straight forward shot of an extremely common perennial that has creeping underground roots. Doing what Bindweed does, which is probably why its considered the bane of all gardeners. Unfortunately the high ISO was required to combat yet another day of high winds, a weather aspect that been a real problem so far this year.

Thanks & hope you enjoy.
Matthew

Gorgeous shot. I really love the rich colors and how the subject is isolated from the background. Excellent work.
Thanks for posting,

I like this very much. Lovely color and composition -- has a sort of calm feeling to it.

Great shot, striking foliage with those read/green contrasts. I don't think ISO 400 is a high ISO with a 20D!
