Bring Me Sunshine

I got some flowers this weekend as a gift and felt that they were too colorful to let fade undocumented. This photo was taken about 2 hours before sundown but I think the light gives it a nice contrast, not available in any other time of day. I believe this particular shot is a blend of two photos in order to pull out as much FG detail as possible. I'm still learning this technique. So for all of you still in the depths of winter, here's a little spring for you.
