Photo of the Day | July 13 | White Flower, by Roberto Pagani

I found this nice flower during a short walk around White Lake at Bernin a Pass, in Switzerland close the Italian border. I was practically at the end of the walk when I have noticed it. Unfortunately I was without tripod since broken and even the wind was increasing. I found the best position to limit as much as possible the camera shake. I have selected a wide aperture to get a right DOF effect and even in order to avoid possibility of blurring.
