This is a Louisiana white hibiscus on the shore of Lake Martin. It poses an interesting question of cropping. I chose to crop it so the flower is a small spark of color in the surrounding greenery, which provides a particular emotional appeal. But you could crop it several other ways that would have a different appeal. It's mostly not right or wrong, just a matter of what you want to say.
