This shot was an experiment with a Canon 30D fitted with an old manual focus Chinon 35mm screw mount lens with an EOS adaptor. This was a potted plant in a dark room with natural sunlight from a window. The camera was tripod mounted and fired with a remote shutter release.

I like the light in this very much Clayton. I think you could have posted it on flora as readily as photo art. My only suggestion would be to add a little fill light in the darkest areas during post processing and maybe move back a little farther from the subject to allow more room for the bud at the top and the clipped bloom on the viewer's right. Looks like the lens worked real well for you.

Nice lighting Clayton. I do agree with Pat's suggestions.
