Taken in the late evening. Use low power flash for slight amount of fill. Did not want to wash out back light.

John - Very pretty and good lighting. You may want to looking into pulling up the exposure a bit more for the petals only. A small crop from the left to eliminate the partially cropped bud strengthens the composition for me.

I'll just echo Ram's comments. More exposure on the petals, especially. :smile:
