Comps as in composites (family of plant- Asteraceae, formerly Compositae), not compositions. Now that our summer has turned hot and smoky with many plants withering, it is time to look back at flowers from mid-summer. On the left is Blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata), which occurs throughout western North America. Note the several insect visitors among its petals. On the right is a Fleabane Daisy (Erigeron spp, one of the 44 species that occur in Colorado).
One of my local spot and comps that I keep on shooting.
This one was taken during a photo tour whilst blue hour and came out not too bad. Unfortunately someone has decided that we can't have any clouds in this area in 2022 but I liked the overall light with a bit of color in the sky as well as the reflection of that cozy cabin window light. ...a bit like a west coast version of 'our little farm on the prairies' ...turn off the lights John Boy, haha
In between climbs at the ASCI Showdown on June 30th, 2007, the competitors had 5 minutes to rest, stretch, contemplate, or stare aimlessly out into the crowd.

[I tried something different with these shots in my post-processing in PS. I wanted to mimic rebekka's latest portraits through lens blurring all but the core of the subject. So here, I made feathered selections of only the climbers' faces, hands, and in some cases, arms, then lens blurred the inverse. I'm happy with the results, and I will definitely have to try this again with more serious subjects.]
