Inner Glow
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

This is one of the few remaining flowers from a bouquet one of our security guards gave me, in thanks for our recommending him for a new job that he was successful in getting. Just about everything was dying by the time I managed to photograph it, but the sentiment was very touching. Only light is with an LED flashlight from behind the flower.

Helen,
Nice effect using the flashlight. I see your 717 is still clicking too!

Helen, it almost looks like a painting. Well done.

Lovely warm colors! I like the simplicity of your composition. That backlit orange color against the black background made the image oustanding. Very nice work.

Thank you all for your comments! Gaurav, this is a lily -- the very common orange ones (tiger lily?) -- that was on its last legs when I shot this. Helen
