Vine

I attempted to photograph this yesterday and when I finished I felt like it was the first time I ever photographed anything. Today there was still a slight breeze and I did a little better, but I couldn't get the DoF I wanted because the wind wouldn't let me use as small an aperture as I would have liked to compensate for the distance between the flower and leaf.
