A little strange can be a good thing :wink:
Besides, a catchy title goes a long way to reel em' in for a view..half the battle.
Great light on the flower & the black BG really makes it pop.
Colors, details, and comp look excellent to me Steve :toast:

I don't think to look at the backside of a flower often enough. The backlighting against the black background really makes things pop. Nice stuff.

Hey, the back of flowers can be interesting too! The backlighting on this helps highlight the details in the back of this daisy. I like the colors against the black background and your off-center comp.

Steve - Very nicely done. Terrific lighting and I specially like the light green sepals (?) at the base which are translucent.

Steve:
An engaging image. The viewer is quickly drawn to the glow around the sepals. :toast:
