ANTICIPATING THE SUN

"Anticipating the Sun" (7-16-09 3792v3) was just fussed out of a very old original pic of mine. I must have tried this particular crop a few dozen times over the years and was never all that jazzed by it. But I always knew to hold on to the original and today I like this tall/narrow crop. Who knows how I'll feel tomorrow? :-) BTW, other ways of cropping it (and it does very much need cropping) have been even less satisfying over the nine years since I took it. And that center unfolding petal always tends to unbalance the pic as it's so eye-catching. As a matter of fact, even today as I cleaned this crop up and worked on focus, I found that the central petal would occasionally jump out a bit too much at me. But, hey, as I've said here many, many times before, nothing's perfect. And I do like this pic a great deal despite that little flaw.
