One of the wonderful things about the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is that they have room to do massive beds of flowers…like this display of Sundrops. I like this shot, which was carefully composed to set off the taller stack of flowers against the chaotic background of blooms. It is one of those “look twice” images…as the subject does not jump right out at you…but once you see what is going on, I think it is effective.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 130mm equivalent field of view, f8 @ 1/500th @ ISO 160. Program with Active D-Lighting. Program shift for the smaller aperture and greater depth of field.
