The story behind the image
Between Golden and Salmon Arm we passed Mount Revelstoke National Park and to take a side trip to the top using the Meadows In The Sky Parkway. The Parkway climbs for 26 km to the 1,920 m summit of Mount Revelstoke. The narrow road has many switchbacks, thus trailers and buses are not permitted.
When we finally reached the top, we not only had a tremendous view across the Columbia River but were also greeted by a rich nature. Flowers and bees obviously have a good time up there on Mount Revelstoke.
For this image I put the flower into the exact center of the image. While this is violating some of the ancient photography rules that suggest to virtually slice the image into thirds, I think it works extremely well here as the contrast, colors, and position, direct the viewer to the main attraction of the image. Nice.
