I almost spilled my coffee before grabbing my Canon Rebel.

Thanks for the kind words Pat and Trevor. I'm just catching up with spring, missed the wildflowers, and wanted to get images that evoked 'springtime' in this part of Michigan. And the B&W thread is still sparking the imagination.

Thanks Nate-
It's nothing very glamorous I'm afraid. I'm standing about 3 feet under the branch, looking straight up. Focal length 70mm. (70-200 f4). Completely overcast sky, but the petals are softly back-lit which is what caught my eye.
I overexposed by almost 2 stops- 1/80 sec exposure at f4.5. I bracketed a couple lower, but was surprised by how much overexposure was actually needed. Did take me several shots to get the comp I liked. - gusts of wind etc.
High- Key images are harder to find,I think, because the subject has to be well lit and quite bright in tonal values. Here I cheated by using a lot of negative space to emphasize the tapering lines of the branches

Converted to B and W in Lightroom, with a very tiny bit of sepia highlight. Sharpened and slightly cropped. Here's the original.
