hit send before I finished.. the flower is Brugmansia , commonly called
angel trumpets - it is a nightshade..
Looking forward to more NY trip reveals
Your goal in using wide lenses is the same as mine normally is - what I
like most about them (thought I don't often go down to the 18 end of the
Da 18-55)
is when I need something sharp throughout... I dislike funhouse
distortion..

Thank you both for commenting!
Part of my goal in using an ultra wide lens is to make photos that don't scream
'ultra wide' at the viewer—to keep them subtle and let the extreme perspective
reshape the scene it's recording in a way that is still natural. UW lenses open
up spaces in interesting ways and let me see things and simplify them in ways
that are difficult with more normal or longer perspectives.
This photo of the trumpets (don't know what the official name of these flowers
might be) was made from a very, very short range—about 17 inches—and
exaggerates them and their surroundings nicely without making them appear all
near-far distorted like so many UW photos would.
(I have a few NY photos to share, Ann. Just haven't had time yet. Been hammered
since I returned home...!)

That's very pleasing, Godfrey. The flowers are interesting, the range
of tones is appealing, and the composition is atttractive.
