This photo was taken in a dimly lit restaurant, camera propped up on a wine glass, slow shutter speed, and back lit with a candle. It was hard lighting to achieve a bright photo, but I persisted.
It made me think of how good friends and flowers are a lot alike... their beauty always shines through, even when days are dark.

Well done you for persisting to achieve a very beautiful image - so love flowers at the moment - can get drunk on their beauty. gorgeous colours and light.
so very pretty
THANKS everyone! It's so encouraging when I overcome a challenging lighting situation and manage to figure it out!
