Lupine, Chugach National Forest, Alaska.
I found a beautiful field of lupine yesterday I have said it before, but lupine is an amazing wildflower. I have seen it in some of the warmest places on earth – Death Valley, and in some of the coldest – Denali National Park.
To get the soft purple glow, I framed this between two other lupine which were very close to the camera and thus completely out of focus.

Pretty, nice shot
That is a great effect with the two glowing soft Lupine on either side. It adds a different dimension to take it beyond being just another good flower photo.

Hi Stefania,
Thanks!
I’m sorry, I wish I did speak French.
I used a 100mm macro lens for this photo, and that allowed me to get very close to the flower. I think your 10x lens might work fine if it allows you to get really close. There might be a macro setting on your camera that will help with this.
Thank you very much Stefania.
Thank a lot Ron..for your precious words.
I make as you say me;)))
