When you photograph flowers in mother nature you have to consider a few important factors:
1. Where is the light coming from?
2. Is there any wind?
3. What is the background?
I photographed this flower late in the afternoon. The wind was light and luckily my subject was a little bit protected by other flowers. The background was a lawn and other flowers. I decided for a wide open lens to blur the background.
Happy photographing!
