Loneliness
This solitary wildflower portrays a sense of loneliness as it sways with the wind. Capturing it was difficult due partly to the nature of my macro lens (which required me to zoom in to 300mm, thus every slight movement from the subject as well as the photographer was amplified several times). I didn't do too well with this shot, but it was a great learning experience.
For all you budding macro photographers out there, remember to use a high aperture setting (in the 11s or so) or you're gonna end up with a shallow DOF like I have here.
If there's one thing I really love about this photo, it's the bokeh. The complete lack of distractions in the background helps the flower to stand out from the photo.
I promise to do better as I practice more. :)

Muy buenas fotos!! :)
Gorgeous!
it's beautiful! lesson learned: flower is beautiful as it is, even with the imperfection of petals. so too is life/human, it is just naturally perfect to be imperfect.
i love this, it makes me want to go out and work on my bokeh more!
I like how you captured the flower from your mistake that seem to be more vivid. so dont be so hard on yourself.
