Very pretty; kind of like a lamp I have in my bedroom; like how the green blossoms out and turns white slowly; good lighting and focus; the hint of black background makes the top part pop out more; Thanks for sharing. Nice garden.

Very pretty, I like how it radiates out from the center. The soft yellowish green in the center really catches your eye. Thanks for sharing.

I really like how each petal is reaching up like they are tentacles trying to grab something, The lighting is beautiful and adds a soft touch to the photo. Very delicate and soothing. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


A very beautiful capture, you really have found the perfect close up position, angle and perspective to let this bloom shine

I think your added Vignette create a perfect focus point on the light enhancing this shot very beautifully

your picture is clear and sharp, nice frame filling flower with soft color saturation contrast and exposure

a well composed picture, attractive with a mystic touch , thanks for sharing

    No vignette Regina.....never use them. It's actually a flashlight, at night, in my flower beds. Do appreciate you checking it out though. Thanks so much.

A superb micro shot of the flower. Excellent clarity. You have framed it well. The light, colours and the composition have worked well. Good effort!
