Very different for you but beautifully done. I have been a terrible follower myself as I'm dealing with problems in my lower back that are making me very unhappy. I hope things continue to get better for you.

This is so incredibly beautiful on film... I love the interplay of shadow coming from within the flower onto the visible flower petals. And the tones are phenomenal. I love the depth, richness, and mystery. (And thank you too.... I hope you're doing ok, it doesn't sound like it's been an easy time for you. I'm truly sorry. But I love that you channel into your photography. :) Sending warm thoughts of healing and best wishes.)
