As I stated on Monday's photo, I saved my favorite photo of this series for last. This is one I'll definitely be framing and adding to my wall collection. I particularly like the darkness in the background and how it makes the flower just stand out in this shot. Not bad, considering it was almost high noon when I took this.

Nice shot, Ken.
Warm and soft - not harsh. This would make a nice print for interior design stores.

The way the sun shines through the petals, (the first thing I saw), makes them appear translucent and demonstrates the fine detail of the petal. Beautiful shot!
