Flowers Cry Too

This photo, of my isopogon formosus, was taken with the Nikon macro flash kit. Since the flowers of this plant are on very long stalks, they move in the slightest breeze. The lowlight conditions following the rain would have made it impossible to photograph with any degree of depth-of-field without the flash.

I like the scale contrast in this photo: the way the small drop of water rests within the flower. It makes one think. How big is this flower, really? And, how small the water drop?
