Gold-White Dahlia

Nikon D300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor @ F/16, 1/25 Sec, ISO200, Diffuser, Reflector and Tripod. Two shiny water drops cloned out. Lucky to spot one in such pristine condition. While some Monitors might show a little bit of over exposure, the histogram does not.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Osteospermum Curls and do let me know what you think of this one.

Startlingly dramatic. You pov gives me a sense of looking down on a pipe organ because the petals are not fully opened.

Exposure looks good on my monitor. I like the off center comp. I don't know why this never occurs to me.
