Sunflower and Sun on the Water, September 15, 2019

Working with selective focus and background placement at Cascade Springs in South Dakota. The stream in the background has sunlight glinting on it, and at 70mm and f/2.8, and at this particular distance from the flower and water, and at that particular distance between the flower and water, you get this particular sort of background. I shifted around a fair amount to see how I could arrange the background shapes, while trying to keep the flower in focus as it shifted in the breeze. It's a fun activity.
