Flowers do not always resonate with DPC voters; however, this one is very special to me, so I feel good about it no matter the score. This is from a Manolia tree in my son's front yard (humongous tree). He picked it and brought it inside on one of our last visit to see him and his wife at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. He is now in Afganistan flying Blackhawk's on Medivac missions. So I think of him every time I look at this image and remember how special he is.
Not much processing; natural light from a window covered with a sheer curtain. Mostly darkened the background and toned down the highlights on the leaves.
