At any given location, once one works beyond the obvious scenes, one begins to look for different interpretations. We’d been here at a spot a short distance from San Gimignano for more than an hour and I had already made more than 70 exposures. Working my way down the rows in a vineyard, the flowers between the rows caught my eye and I did several studies with varying focal lengths, getting closer and closer to them. This is one of the series, done at 17mm, the lens inches above the flowers and angled so as to include the flowers, the vines on either side, and the distant valley.
