A Monkey Flower

This is a photograph I took of a Bigelow Monkey Flower (Mimulus Bigelovii) in Joshua Tree National Park while attending a photography class. This flower was tiny, about 2-3 inches high and about the same width. This was another example of Dirty Shirt Photography and was taken while I was lying face down on the desert rocks. The macro lens I was using was just amazing and allowed me to get this close up of this tiny flower.

It was mentioned to me that a varient of this photograph should be tried. So here it is. Hope you like it.
