Location
I took this photo in my garden in PennsylvaniaTime
Late aftenoonLighting
I have of clump of summer snowflakes in a shady spot that gets dapples light for a short time in the morning, and again in late afternoon. If I go out to take pictures at the right time, on the right day, I have a chance for a nice shot. I prefer flowers that are backlit, with a dark, rather featureless, background.Equipment
This was taken with a SONY R1, handheldInspiration
I love these tiny snowflakes! Can't stay away from them!Editing

Watch your background for unwanted branches, fences, leaves, twigs, etc... And WAIT for the right light.
