    A great shot. The leaves look like my moth orchid and the blossom is like a lily. I've never visited the Marble Mountain Wilderness.

    Very nice photo.
    Shadow of the flower is great bonus to your composition.

    Regards!

    The green leaves are gigantic when compared to the smaller flower. Yet the little one seems outsized for what is lacks in size is more than offset by the shadow in the same cheerful way as the subject. Neat!

    At first I thought this was a lily, but then realized it is much more dainty. Very nice SS. Have a good weekend.

    I'm guessing that these lovely flowers grow only in deep woods.

    I LOVE MY SHADOW

    I love my shadow,
    My shadow loves me;
    We chat together
    And don’t disagree!

    My shadow and I
    Prefer not to shout
    As we go walking
    And rambling about.

    My shadow’s so wise,
    I ask what she thinks;
    She’s happy to share,
    And then nods and winks.

    My shadow and I
    Are best buds, you see;
    That’s why we try hard
    To always agree!

    That is a great capture, a shadow of oneself on oneself.

    I don't see the forest, but I can feel it there in the photo. Nice shot.

    Thanks, everybody!

    Yes, this is in deep forest--a wetter, thicker (more undergrowth) forest than I'm used to in the Sierra. These are in the lily family (Liliaceae), hence the resemblance.
