I wish I'd actually found this growing on the rusted pulley frame, but I staged it. I liked the way the red edge of the bud blended with the reddish rust.
Image was taken using combined Ektanar +10/+7 macro lenses with exposure compensation -2, Center weighted exposure metering, and White balance "sunny". Performed some minor editing using the GIMP: Crop, USM, Auto color enhance.

A very nice image. However, I find the lower right corner detracts. Cropping just to the right of the tip of the bud preserves all that I find wonderful in this shot. I love the lighting and the subject itself.
I like it! I might have included a little more on the left. Here is another hopeful image of nature's beauty overcoming/surviving the arrogance of humanity.
