Description
While traveling to Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park (USA), along Highway 64 North, one gets to view a sea of various wildflowers, out the window. But of course, I can't pass up this photo opportunity. So it's driver stop and pull over!
There I stood in the middle of all these Blanket Flowers or Indian Blanket Flowers (this name may refer to the resemblance to the brightly patterned blankets made by Native Americans). It is a flower belonging to the Sunflower family. Standing like showy pinwheels, they exhibit blanket-like density.
I love black and white photography, and to feature florals in this medium, it's so special to me. It's all about the lighting, shadows, and tonal quality. Knowing when it's right. Here is my "Blanket Flower Fantasy!"

I remember this wonderful day along Highway 64 North. The grassy meadows were a bloom with wildflowers. It was "a driver stop and pull over" moment for sure. But so worth it, as I know what a treat it is for you. I like what you said about the medium you used, "Standing like showy pinwheels, they exhibit blanket-like density. I love black and white photography, and to feature these florals in this medium, it's so special to me. It's all about the lighting, shadows, and tonal quality. Knowing when it's right. Here is my "Blanket Flower Fantasy!" That sums it up alright. Well done! like/fave/Facebook

This works so well in black and white. I love the tonal quality of the background too -- it really sets off that lovely blossom. Featured in American Desert Southwest.
