Flowering Dogwood

Flowering Dogwood

I missed one day at Gorman last weekend and when I returned the flowering dogwood was blooming everywhere.  I have noticed more of these plants this year than I have in the past.  I think they are beautiful and am always looking for a way to photograph them.  This one particular morning we had sun but it was filtered by clouds making the light less specular.  I made several shots of this bloom as the light changed.  This was one of the earlier ones.  I liked the back light on the petals.  The light on the leaves leads my eye in the the distance.  It makes this image dynamic.  In some of the later shots I did not like the shapes of the shadows on the back of the petals.  That was the deciding factor in my picking this one.
