” Smokey Mountain Trillium “
Took a long weekend down to the Smokies a couple of weeks ago, to get some of the beautiful wildflowers that bloom so profusely there, I came across this scene off the Little Pigeon River.
It was getting very close to dark which gave it this blue color and mood, I could tell by the footprints that this subject had been shot pretty frequently so if you see the same shot somewhere on the web I promise I didn’t steal it !!

About
Hello my name is Bernie Kasper and I am a photographer from Madison, a small town located in the Southeastern part of Indiana on the banks of the Ohio River, the area I call home has a rich diversity of topography and wildlife that make it a special place. From the canyons and waterfalls of Clifty Park to the wetlands of the Muscatatuck NWR the area is rich in photographic opportunities, hopefully I will be able to convey the beauty of the area and share any info as well about this place I call home

Beautiful scene – gorgeous trillium. I’d love to take a trip to the Smokies!
Perfectly framed shot! Bravo
Its a very nice image, peaceful & serene. I however feel that the color temperature is a little low for the shot. A warming filter, or a Moose Filter could have helped.
Cheers!

what a great composition. fantastic place and capture
The colors in this are fabulous, Bernie! Love the deep blue/deep green combo.
Great composition also. Did you crop this at all or is this the sooc image?
Beautiful shot! The light certainly sets the mood.
I love this – the blue cast is an interesting way of offering a calming tone to the photograph. I also agree with Monarch it is perfectly framed. I adore your little violets as well in the photograph. (I’m really happy you tossed this up… I keep wondering where it is I should seek out this elusive trillium and at least now I have an idea of the typical area they shoot up in.) Beautiful shot Bernie.
Bernie’s Back! Great work. I don’t think you were away actually. But it sounds good.
Absolutely a magical image Bernie. The Smokies are a wonderful place!
Excellent work, Bernie. Isn’t it funny how low light can defeat you at times, and then at other times give you effects like this? Amazing.

What beautiful colors! It’s so peaceful looking.
Nice comp Bernie.
How beautiful! What a great photo….
Nice photo!The color of the flower,leaves ,the running water make a beautiful composition of mother nature.
I like how the blues and green compliment each other. The flower is perfectly placed as well. nice work Bernie.
Bernie, I love the thought you put into framing this image. The water in the background adds to the beauty of these amazing wildflowers. We have trillium in the Northwest, also, but I don’t run into them very often. The first time I saw them, we were on a trail through a stretch of redwoods on the coast. They look exotic!
I like the framing in this shot and the combination of waterfalls + flowers. The blue cast does bother me a bit though. You should be able to remove it using the RAW file.
Stunning (although I agree with calevphoto on the blueness.)
I really like this photo a lot Bernie. And I wish you would add commentary regarding what you are doing these days. I hope you are well and enjoying all these wonderful spring flowers.
Great shot!
We are headed down to the smokies this next week.
Now I am inspired.

I can’t believe this is real. I live in New York and never see anything like this.

A wonderful photo! Love the river, it looks almost like a waterfall in this shot! The close-up of the wildflowers, in the foreground–very, very nice!
Gorgeous! One of my things to photograph this year is Trillium.
