✱ Weekly Photograph #6

Last year we travelled to Denali National Park in Alaska, and this Alaskan Cotton Grass caught my attention. I spent the next 15 minutes focusing on a few different specimens trying to get the subtle white variations and the shallow depth of field to look right as they bounced around in the wind. The detail in this photo is what I really like about it. The individual tufts are about the size of a golf ball.
