Pretty cool, AJ. Has a Georgia O'Keefe feel to it.
Whoa! That is a frame full of gorgeous rose! I think Flora forum would gobble this up big time.

A beauty! Nice idea to off-center and tilt it. I'll have to remember that.

Beautiful frame AJ. How did you light it?

Nice to see your post, AJ - as mentioned on Flora - this is a great shot. Love the shade of orange..

Simply gorgeous AJ, well done.

Thanks for all the great words! I do not know what to say.
Janet, you may not believe me, however, I simply waved a portable battery powered camping lantern back and forth over the flower during the duration of the 13 second exposure. This is what made for the smoothness of the light and kept the shadows to a minimum. I shot a few so that I could get the exposure just right. (Kinda hard to meter, if you know what I mean!)

Way cool way to light. Coleman should give you a kickback for this little piece of info.
