 Needed a dark spot in broad daylight so I took this shot in my attic. It must have been 120 degrees so I had to work quickly before the "midnight flower" wilted. Placed black material around and shined a light beam directly at the flower.

Nice effect. I love the stem rising out of the black. It might be a little too subtle for the voters, but I hope they got it! And the colors on the flower itself are very nice. Good shot. 9. chrisab.

A nice shot...and you've given me an idea for a new technique to try.

Space is not necessary to take the photo you took here, which places it out of the scope of the challenge. But, I enjoy the photo, overall. 6

It seems a little pixelated to me, but I think it might be the monitor. That is an interesting color, and i like how it comes out of the darkness. karmat

i would have given you an even higher score if you managed to get the four white dots out of the middle somehow.

Beautiful flower. Needs a little more focus. I like it against the black background. 5

Interesting Photo. Nice use of negative space. Lighting is good. Focus seems to be off just a bit.

nice impact. It looked a tiny bit unsharp on my monitor.

Great neg spc! Love the shot, and would have truly like to see a little more of the stem- for me it would have added tremendously to the overall composition. lhall-8

Very nice, but it looks very digital for some reason. Poor quality distracts from the nice color and composition.
