This is another photograph in my series of flowers photographed as portraits with custom backgrounds designed to highlight what I see as the personality of the flowers. For this photo, I was struck by how the one cosmos in the center stands out from all the others – not just because it is a different color, but because it was putting it’s petals forward. It reminded me of a strong woman – leading others fearlessly – to do what she knows is right – not worrying about what others will think.
Flower from Plantmasters, a local flower farm in Maryland.
