Snake's Head Fritillary

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any wild Snake's Head Fritillary local to me, so I decided to buy one. A bit of a cheat, but a good excuse to try out my new macro lens. As a true photographer, I sprayed some water on the flower to add to the macro goodness. I was relatively pleased with the results, but wanted something a bit more, so I decided to fire off some shots whilst spraying and play around with the shutter speed. I chose this shot because I really like how the water is bouncing off the flower and the soft bokeh it creates in the background.
