Having fun playing with this technique. This was shot high key, with back lighting, and inverted.
D7200, Nikon 18-140 @112, 1/10 s, f20, ISO 320.
Appreciate comments and suggestions

Very striking, Dan. A simple technique this, not often explored, but certainly produced exceptional results.

Interesting technique and a fine result, Dan. My only very minor suggestion would be to darken the nub at top of the stem.

beautiful - very striking.
The play of light is exceptional, as well as the fine detail, comp, and presentation.

Very striking flower photo. I had not seen inversion used on flowers before .  Thank you for explaining how you crafted this unique pic.
