This unidentified little purple flower attracted my eye when I was shooting at a local garden with some friends. I had my macro lens on my camera and I had my tripod with me, so I carefully set up the shot the way my mentor, Cindy Dyer, has taught me to do. I tried to isolate my subject and keep a relatively unobstructed background. I shot at f16 to have a decent depth of field.
The final image is simple, modest, and pleasant, like the flower itself.

Just beautiful, Michael. I am certain this is a type of Clematis flower.
I was going to say clematis too. If it was on a vine, I’m fairly certain that’s what it is.
