Very old-fashioned sort of flower, I think, growing in the woods in dappled light ... really like the light. And if you look very closely, there's a spider hiding on the leaf near the flower. A Daddy longlegs.

In general- I'm over the 'just a flower bit'. But this is not general. I love it! The lighting here is dramatic and perfectly done IMO & it's all very complimentary to the Sepia bit.
