Nice window. I would have liked to seen it centred a little better - maybe it was because you were using the optical viewfinder rather than the lcd screen.

Thanx for the comments

I agree that the focus was slightly off ... I think I should wear my glasses when I'm shooting :)

As for the questions regarding flash and blacklight ... the shot was taken with the internal flash of the camera (thus the shadows) - I don't own an external flash. No, it wasn't blacklight photography.

I'd started taking shots of the flower by itself (which as one voter commented can be rather boring). The real colour of the whole flower was probably something like the red colour in the centre. I found that with the sun behind the flower that parts of the petals became orange. On adding the flash, the ring of purplish-white appeared.

I thought the effect was rather 'Warholesque'

Results were probably what I'd expected ... a mix of everything!!!

Thanx again for the comments and votes
