Posting this hoping to find a I.D. as I happened to notice by chance this weeks theme and thought one of you flower experts might know what it is.
It was from a plant that was growing within one of my large stag horn ferns. I can't I.D. the plant or the flower. The flower bloomed one day, never opened and then died. A little smaller then actual size.
Used a black shirt as the background.
Not sure if this falls within the theme so move or delete as necessary.
I really like the flower, Mike - and love the opposing black BG as well. I just wish it wasn't quite so vertical in the frame. Would love to have seen a more diagonal position. I'd also consider taking a bit off the bottom as it feels like it has a bit too much negative space on that end of the frame.
Great color and details - it doesn't feel too bright to me. I would love to see it opened up!
