Scarlet Pimpernel

More from groping around in the weed-ridden undergrowth. A shaft of light illuminated the flower in an otherwise unlit area under rhubarb leaves (I kid you not). This is one weed that I'd be happy to have more of but unfortunately it doesn't seem to like my soil (unlike bindweed :evil.

K3 + Irix 150mm + 1.4TC, aperture almost wide open for short exposures to freeze slight but significant movement in light gusts of wind. The first one is at almost max magnification (min focus distance), the second from a bit further away. Depth of field was miniscule and no chance of focus stacking so go for a soft and dreamy look.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.
