Hey Michael,
Very dramatic presentation! We were lucky that these night bloomers were still out! Nice job taming the contrasty light and I like the angle you chose for presentation....including the pads of the bloom. You've got to love the DOF.....I do and it's sharp throughout! Nicely done!
Very nice, Michael! I love your choice of aperture - you got just enough BG to make the image even more interesting without it being distracting at all. Flower is perfectly in focus and the colors are right on - not over saturated at all.
