a wee bit dark... but lovely subject matter... i never knew what this was called... i've had them growing in my yard for years...
I did not know what the plant was either until one day at Lowes garden center and they had the plant for sale. It is dark due to it being in the woods and I was shooting down and across at it.

I like it! It's got white highlights and black blacks. I love the way the colors of the flower stand out. I wouldn't change it a bit.
I love how the plant stands out, it is one of my favorite shots. Thanks JimH

Only lighting's a little harsh, flattening details and causing strong shadows.
Nice capture though.
A ray of sunshine was actually hitting the plant and that is why there is light on it at all. I guess I don't see the harshness.
Thanks again for the comments. I continue to learn with everyone's help and time behind the camera.
