Went to Buck Gardens in NJ today and found these large mallows. Had soft light and was getting a bit of subtle backlight. the backround is water.

Dave,

I like the OOTB thinking on this one. The backlighting is very delicate and works well for this photo. Love the pink on almost black BG.

Thanks for sharing...

Love the background and backlighting great job as usual Dave.

Yummy! Beautiful backlighting - you were right to let that carry your image. I do wish it had a little bit more room at the bottom - I feel the greenery is almost cut off down there - it would have been nice to see a bit more stem.

Wonderful DOF - f13 did well at getting plenty of detail throughout the plant and still let the water fall away into the unobtrusive BG.

Love how i can see the veins on the petals, beautiful. Would also like to see a little more stems. :)
