I call this the Triffid

It started out as a Lilly, but overnight it sort of transmogrified

If you want to call it a Triffid, that's fine by me. But it's nice whatever it is!

Thanks Donald

Hi Dave, nice detail in the whites. Well composed!

How did you ever get the background jet black without any halos around the flower?

I'd like to think it was good lighting Frank

Photoshop helped a bit though

Tanks for your comment.

Very well done. I can never seem to get the black background anywhere near that dark, more a milky grey due to overexposure!
