Cluster One

by

An overhead top down macro photograph of a cleome center just as the flower prepares to bud. The cross processed purple hues lend a calming effect to the imagery.

Cluster One — 100mm | f/4 | ISO 100 | EXP 1/400

Update:Thanks to Barb for identifying this flower as a Cleome.

Looking for some audience help with this one. I have several of these flowers growing wild amongst the stones in my path to the backyard. They put off a strong odor with a hint of skunk, but arrange themselves in the most wonderful spiral array.

Bonus points to the first person who gets the song reference.
