Singular Flower by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Singular Flower

Camera Club prompt this month is to copy one of two compositions, and I chose the flower. However, I don't know my cosmos from a chrysanthemum, I just bought a bunch of white flowers from Aldi (other supermarkets are available as my brother would type!)

Lighting this was a pain to get the shadows in the petals, but once I thought I'd got it about right, using two lights, a reflector(!) and adjusting white balance I got this in half a dozen goes (or frames in old money)

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on yesterday's photo of The Lodger Cat, she's chuffed to be on PP (Purr Pular-page) and as ever I'm in awe of my point and click's abilities.

This is lovely Jackie, worth all the time you put in
