I love the way the "old age" veins show up in this night photo of my daylilies. The new buds are "coming of age", as the old flower seems to melt.

Sweet lighting, excellent composition, and great processing.

Lucy - This is pretty stunning. Veins really show up so nicely against a dark background and some great spot lighting

Actually, I did not have to do any processing, except for some noise reduction and framing.

The petal textures are indeed a delight, Lucy ! The contrasty lighting makes for a powerful image with a real feel of decay.

You too, can have my great lighting system! Buy a flashlight with the 6-8 little LED's and put it under your hand. Then take the shot using the built-in flash. The tricky part is angling the flashlight for the effect you want. The built in flash just gives a little fill around that spot.
This method is great for using the autofocus in pitch black, because you have lit the focal point of the subject. Plus, you have the flashlight to see where you are going
