Moonflower at sunset
These flowers have such delicate features (it would be easy to overdo the post-processing) - I find them fascinating. I caught this one growing on our back deck.

Canon 20D
ISO 100
100mm macro
f/8 for 5 seconds

The lines and soft look of this are really nice. I like how you kept the top edge exposed with the black background. Very cool and well done Tim.

Tim, nice work, I like the center detail and the soft pink that shows up in the upper portion of the flower.

Beautiful, Tim. Nice detail throughout, and the pink tone really makes this one shine.

I agree, well done, and I really like the pink tones; the lines draw one into the center

Echoing what others have said, the subtle colors enhance the effect... :toast:
