2106_3500 Wood's Rose or Western Wild Rose
Due to drought conditions it was not a great wildflower year in my area, but I did stop by the roadside when I saw these wild roses. For flowers I usually prefer a macro lens, tripod, and cloudy day, so naturally I shot this hand held in bright sunshine with a 500mm telephoto! (There are no rules, only bright - or dim - ideas about what works and what does not. Take everything with the proverbial grain of sodium chloride.)
