 A Morning Glory, one of my favorite flowers to photograph. They've only just started to bloom a bit; the summer's been too hot and dry for them.

Had the 36mm + 20mm extension tubes on and used an LED ring light.

PP - cropped, increased saturation and contrast, dodged/burnt flower a bit, touched up a few spots, resized, sharpened, hand-sharpened center, added border.
