This smaller than usual bloom was growing where is shouldn't have been growing and so made a nice opportunity in the open shade. I don't have a macro lens so I just came as close as possible and narrowed the DOF. A bit of tweaking using NIK Software finished it off.

Laura:
Nice color contrast between the bloom and the green bg. Wish for more room along the right rather than the left as the bloom is leaning towards the right for a more conventional look.
