I picked this wildflower from my yard, and carefully positioned it with shadows behind, with the low setting sun backlighting the flower. Used my 180mm f3.5L macro on my '1v, 1/100th sec @ f16. I spot metered on the shadowes and kicked that reading down two stops. Let me know what you think about it.

This is one of the first macro photos that came out exactly as I saw

it in my mind's eye. This is a common wildflower / weed in Minnesota,

called White Campion (Lychnis alba). The white flowers emerge every

night from the bulb. I'd like to know what you think.

I hate hearing people specking in terms of "engineering" while doing art. The discipline "Art Engineering" does not exist and I hope nobody will invent it. I give you a double 10 for your art, and a virtual (or moral) ZERO for the use of the term "engineering".

This is a very beautiful picture. Congratulations. If I may ask... the totally black background puzzles me. Was there absolutely no dark-room (PS) work on this?
