Spring Beauty

From our nature walk through the Great Swamp. I've always loved these delicate flowers which appear in Spring and dot the forest floor.

Thank you to all! I apologize for the quick, massive reply as I'm trying to get my head back above water here!

[Taffy]

Perfect shot for its simplicity and the color contrast of the white against the deep green.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@taffy Thank you Taffy! I kept going around and around on how to compose this one. Dead center seemed boring, but off center or trying to put into some sort of Rule of Thirds equation didn't work either. So in the end I did the center shot and when I uploaded it I knew I'd made the right choice.
