Bloodroot blossoms from a few angles

Walking through the woods yesterday there were not a lot of wildflowers blooming... except for the bloodroots.  These are very simple blossoms.  I am not a particular fan of white flowers as they have very little (obviously) color and are hard to expose correctly.  They also easily show any "wear and tear", so it is important to find fresh clean samples when looking for a composition.  I am pleased with this first image, as the flower seems to be perfectly symmetrical. The bloodroot is a perennial that is native to eastern North America.
