[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Walking was a bit of a problem today... recurring back and leg ailments... but I hobbled along... slowly... :)

This photo was taken about 10:30 AM (EST) on a very bright sunny morning. My eye was attracted to the calyx and back lit petals of this flower. I also liked the way the remaining calyx of the petal-less flower in the upper right corner looks like it is enclosing an inner light of its own even though the petals of its life are no longer there.

The theme is faith... it is your faith which is your support.

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
--Helen Keller

Taken hand-held with fully extended 12X zoom, auto everything, some PP work to enhance the flower/calyx and subdue the BG.

Hi Larry,

This is simply awesome shot! The sunlight piercing through the petals of the yellow flower, is simply wonderful. Indeed, it is a very well well tought capture and you have a great eye to look at these things.
Great job!

best regards,
Paras Bhalla

Nice light, you have reached interesting semi-transparent effect on petals with it.

Hello Larry,

woh!... An artistically beatiful set!... very good result using the light from the back of the flower. Spectacular!

TFS!
