Chiaroscuro

I’d like to finish up this group of pictures taken at the Arbor Walk Pond on November 8 with one that includes the type of flower that began the series, the water-primrose, but this time it appears only as a featureless yellow glow behind the aster that is the primary subject of the picture and that presents its own smaller yellow in detail, surrounded by an asterisk of violet-tinged white.
