Pale jewelweed (Impatiens pallida) blooming at the rare Charitable Research Reserve, Ontario, Canada.
These flowers hang from the stalks, cutting it is unavoidable. --СССР (talk) 05:31, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Support, then -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:00, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I'm totally against brightening it, but why do you think so? It was taken with a flash from what was very close to the lens' minimum focusing distance of 0.28m, which, I think, provided for more than adequate illumination. The background is dark because the plant grows on the floor of the forest with a very thick canopy. СССР (talk) 15:03, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Out of curiosity, how do you not find the multiple shadows that are actually on the subject distracting here? --СССР (talk) 16:51, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's cropped; the flower is only a couple of cm is size, and I couldn't get any closer to focus. --СССР (talk) 14:21, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
