 Hopefully this is a stopgap entry pending this afternoon's work, but knowing my luck it will be the final. Oh well.

Yep, typical, new stuff just didn't happen.
Expect this one to tank worse than anything so far!! Joyous!

Well to my surprise it didn't totally tank!
I know it's too soft but I didn't have the chance to change lenses at that point.
To be perfectly honest, I wasn't really thinking about the background, I was too busy concentrating on getting the sunlight shining through; I'll try to be more aware next time.
Thanks everyone for the comments - I appreciate your opinions because it teaches me something nearly every time.

Great shot. I love the stark contrast between the backlit white petals and nearly black background.

Nice, but the flower seems to be sad. 7

I very much so like the fgow in this plant. The lights and shadows stand out a lot.

Background is a bit distracting, but I love the lighting on the flower in front. If you could have isolated that against a dark green background it would be perfect.
