Moon flower bloom

I thought I was done with photographing this plant when I noticed the early morning light illuminating this bloom. Had to photograph it.

John - I like the shape of the flower, specially the spikes on the petal tips and the subtle purple color.

I find the contrast to be harsh - using a diffuser or overcast conditions would be very ideal to manage the contrast nicely.

John: Glad you took a second look. Tough lighting certainly but I think you handled it pretty well. >=))>

Hi John

I would have croped the lower leaf section, to make a stronger image. how can the early morning light be harsh?
