 Taken in the complete darkness of my basement. I used a big spotlight (used for shining deer) for the essential light.

I always wanted to take a "emotive" flower photo and that's why I entered in the "Why didn't I think of that?" challenge. Hopefully it does well! I took additional photos of other flower, a peony, some bleeding hearts, but this one was my favorite.

PP- sharpened, added a bit of contrast, cropped.

Hope you like it!

I do not like the lighting here. needs more light up front IMO.

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

Beautiful flower, maybe the DOF is just a tiny bit too shallow.
