Turtlehead

any comments appreciated

I Love this shot. The only reason I didn't rate it 7/7, is I wish it were a bit more sharp. But it is still very nicely done.

lack of sharpness partly due to a lousy scanner, but mostly from a windy day and not being able to use the dof I would have liked, the black background is from the dark woods behind the flower. We have lots of these in my area and I really like this wildflower it has such a strange look, unfortunatley the bugs really like them also so I was really glad to find one in good enough shape for a photo
