Hairy petal of Carrion

This flower was up on a pot stand when it bloomed and I sat under the flower to shoot the back lit [by Sun] petal.

Dinu, you & your photographs are amazing!

It scared me to death when I logged on. It looked like what my ophthalmologist sees when he looks into my eyeballs. Then I snapped to and realized it had to be a petal or some such thing because this is a gardening site after all. So that's my roundabout way of saying that I love this banner and look forward to seeing more of your photography. Very creative!

That's really fantastic on a lot of levels.

The composition and crop are great as is the subject itself.

Really well done!
