Thanks Bertrand! The flower was in brighter light and the background was in shadow. In order to not overexpose the flower, I underexposed the shot by almost 2 stops. That completely blacked out the shaded background. So the "low light" was created by the camera

Thanks for the explanation. It is very instructive.
