I bet this would look awesome in b/w as well. You could get some really nice contrast out of it.

These look so delicate. Nice detail in those little blooms.

Nice! I like the dark background and the DoF. Perhaps the blossums could use a little more light.

Nice old church. Too bad it has to go. I agree with Adz that a B&W version of this would be nice, since the light is rather flat.

Comment by dandavis:
A Superfund site is one which is so environmentally contaminated that the US government says it is unsafe to live on. In this case, it is lead contamination from the lead and zinc mining enterprise (which was used to form most of the bullets used in world Wars I and II). The government comes in, buys up the property, and relocates the peaople who lived there. Picher at one time had a population of more than 10,000. Now, only four families remain who have refused government buyouts.

Very pretty and nicely detailed blossom. The dark background makes it.

Really engaging shot. I hope they never tear that old church down. I love to look at old buildings decaying away from the forces of nature. I'm intrigued by the story you hint at. What is a Superfund site?
