It is wonderful the way you have used the light here ~V~

As I was about to say before I was interrupted by something...
one of the advantages of constantly being behind in commenting and posting is that you sometimes get to see families of shots rather than one at a time. In this case it was interesting to compare yesterday's shot to today's. I'm guessing from the curls of the petals that they're the same two flowers. Yesterday's with the dark background made me think of something that I'd read (I don't recall where) about how a flower in it's fullest bloom is already dying. This was particularly true of the white one. But the much brighter background here seems to rejuvenate them and you need to look very closely to see the signs of decay, still visible but largely masked, on the white one.
(Now I get the concept of the Vaseline jelly on / stocking over the lens technique, so beloved of aging stars...)
