Daniel Anderson, Floral Supernova (SINGLE SHOT 2026)

This blue lace wildflower blooms in a near-perfect circle, its tiny blossoms and fine stems fanning outward in a pattern that echoes a supernova bursting across space. I captured this image with my Nikon D5500 and 40mm, with settings of f.16, ISO200 and 1/200 sec.
