Trillium, as a candle in the dark

This is a basically unedited shot of a trillium that had just

bloomed (trillium usually only bloom for ~2 days a year) and had

happened to be caught in a shaft of light as I passed it this past

spring at Empire Bluffs in Empire, MI. I think it captures the

lonliness of the Manitou Passage in spring, as I know it, but I've

been wrong before. I cropped this in-camera, and am not certain I'm

happy with all the weight being on the left side or if moving a foot

to my right would have been better.
