This is the flower from the previous bud image I posted the other day. Really like the pillow like softness to the petals on these.
Looks kind of like a lily, and Noelle pointed out that it was a type of moonflower. After a google image search I discovered one of the common names for this is Jimson Weed. It's a beautiful flower, but also can be toxic, and Native American Indians have used it for its hallucinogenic properties.
Slight crop off top, CS5 adjustments, cleaned up spots, dodging & burning, desaturation on petals, sharpening in Topaz Detail.
