Beautiful flower detail in excellent back(??) light. Superb textures, well balanced arrangement. Well done Gigi.

Miro, it was a lateral light with the last ray of the sunset.
Thanks for your interest for the photo and the appreciated comment.
Take care.

Wonderful subject, curve, and lighting. Only wish is that there would be more of a connection between the stem and the leaves on the right. I remember this well and am very pleased to see it again.

Happy holidays to you and yours.

Gigi - Remember this from earlier posting - very moody shot. Lighting takes the center stage and the hoverfly is a very nice addition.

Deceptively simple, almost Oriental—a visual haiku!
