Tall Ironweed and Goldenrod

Tall Ironweed and Goldenrod

I have to watch myself that I don't walk into an image before I capture it.  This is one of those situations.

This ironweed has attracted my attention for years.  I have tried to photograph it multiple times.  I had on the camera a 180 mm lens mounted on a 2x teleconverter the other day and decided to shoot this plant again.  The background, in the shade from the point at which I stood, looks almost black.  It emphasizes the light on the plants.  The sizes involved preclude my using a light modifier.  I think that softer light would add but I don't have one large enough.

An aside:  I realized, recently, that the colors of the blooms complement each other further enhancing the beauty of the capture.
