Graveyard Flower

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 16 March 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

In a small corner of the graveyard I found this one little beautiful flower.
I probably should have moved the twig, but I wanted to keep it natural and give it a little contrast.

I have uploaded some of my favorite images to redbubble for sale http://www.redbubble.com/people/jenseye

Wow, the shot makes the petals look so "creamy" and soft. Yes, I think having the twig certainly gives a contrast. Well done!
