Very old-fashioned sort of flower, I think, growing in the woods in dappled light ... really like the light. And if you look very closely, there's a spider hiding on the leaf near the flower. A Daddy longlegs.

PP - cropped, tonemapped in qtpfsgui (pregamma 0.697, mantiuk method, contrast mapping 0.1, saturation factor 1.029, detail factor 1), lightened both layers and merged in multiply mode, cloned a little more texture on some hot petals, duotone, resized, sharpened with noise reduction, blurred background and one leaf more, added border.

In general- I'm over the 'just a flower bit'. But this is not general. I love it! The lighting here is dramatic and perfectly done IMO & it's all very complimentary to the Sepia bit.

Really beautiful. You don't see these in Texas, but I know they can be found along the west coast. The bokeh is lovely.
