 Took this last minute, using a flower that just happened to be in the house, as the sun was setting on the OTHER side of the house. Shot out the back window, using the natural light from behind.

Learning about focus stacking so I shot 40 images and stacked them together. It may be a bit too sharp, only time will tell. I probably should have worked more on creating a beautiful bokeh background as well.

And, for some reason I had to put that it was shot May 5, as it wasn't accepting May 6?

One of my top picks. The flower is wonderfully shot, with the backlighting framing the lovely flower. Nice and sharp in the center. As a nit, perhaps desaturate the green-ish areas to keep the color all white/pink.
