Spiderwort

This was taken beneath Haley Falls, just prior to reaching Hawksbill Crag. I'm not quite sure why the anthers on these flowers are so blurry, but I'm guessing it's a combination of being within the minimum focusing distance of my 70-300VR and a little bit of a breeze. This is why I need a macro lens--another step backward would have resulted in an 80-foot tumble over the edge of a bluff.

Some guy scampered down to where I was and promptly proceeded to copy my composition. C'mon. Figure out yer own stinkin' composition.

EXIF: 70-300VR at 280mm, ISO 100, 1/30" at f/5.6.
