Better than cake

You mightn't be able to eat flowers but they have less calories,
last longer and make better PAD shots.

Wonderful soft focus! The light is amazing too.

Challenge accepted. Once I get my macro lens for the Olympus I plan to disprove that.

Most of that, anyway.

Certainly I plan to prove that a cake can make just as good a PAD shot, which... OK, I concede it probably WON'T last as long, and if it's chocolate frosted it probably won't last more than a minute or two beyond the shutter click. I'll also admit that I can't prove that it will have less (sub-editorial pedantry: "fewer") calories (Brian Cox pedantry: "kilojoules") less than cake, but hey, I owe it to both photographic posterity and my taste buds to try.

But I'll admit that the translucency in the petals made this a very fine shot.
Had the petals been coated in chocolate frosting it may well have been perfect.
