This is a flower found in woodlands, mostly in shadow. Like in this case.

The composition is truly perfect here, Veljio.
Well done in every respect

A lovely delicate shot of the "Greater Stitchwort"! You have the same camera and lens as I do!

Veljo,

This is sweet, great job on the difficult exposure. Did you spot meter off the flower? I like that bottom set of leaves with just enough highlights to bring them out and made this vertical composition possible.

And out of the darkness there shone a light.. I love this shot, Veljo. Very different and technically excellent. Composition is quite strong, thanks for sharing!

Hi folks,

thanks for the comments.

Ronnie, I really did spot meter off the flower (as much as 10% partial metering of EOS 33 can be named spot). To be sure, I made a longer exposure too. Well, the details of petals got lost. THis shot was better.
