The sun was hitting this in a way that highlighted the flower while the rest of the plant was in shade.  I added a vignette to enhance the effect.  It feels to me that the flower is emerging from the shadows.  Another flower, with more color, can be seen here: <a href="http://smu.gs/molZUv">http://smu.gs/molZUv</a>

  • Headline:The Boston Bruins Win the Stanley Cup!<br />
Their first win since 1972, when yours truly was in High School!!<br />
