Magnificent Yellow-Tinge Larkspur


This is a whole flower stalk to appreciate, aren't they just stunning?!!
Do any of you have trouble photographing flowers like this? They are very difficult for me!! Every time I find a tall stalk of flowers, I am faced with a dilemma: how can I photograph this flower in such a way that I can properly show the lovely sight that I am seeing? The individual blossoms are just beautiful, but there are a whole stalk of them, and seeing all the flowers together is an important part of the overall show. However, taking a picture of the stalk means that the blossoms are too small to appreciate properly! It's also a challenge to get the proper depth of field to show enough of the blossoms clearly and still have a nice, soft background. ACK!!
I think that the only way to show these kinds of flowers properly is to have at least two pictures: one of the stalk, and one that shows a close-up of a blossom or two. What do you think?
