A nifty thing that often occurs when shooting flowers in their natural full bloom, is that the picture seems to take on a natural v from the outside top corners to the center. It happens often enough that I have some of them designated for printing on envelopes. The flap side. This is one of those pics.

The denseness of the cattails provides just enough interest with the sun making its fuzz glow, to make a wonderful background for print. But the dark band across the top, indicates usefulness as a web-page background. I used it as such on the the Nature page. I often take a photo with no band, and then one with the band to expand the usefulness of the shot.
