She Smiles In The Night

With my camera, and a tiny, LED light, my Garden is a whole diiferent world. In my "mind's eye", I saw a single Coneflower "floating" in the dark. This is the result. FYI: NOT easy finding a flower that has not been nibbled or ravaged by beetles or the dreaded earwigs - Ooooh - gack!)
Thanks so much for your recent views, comments, and faves, WOW! (Note: Gave this a small crop before adding white matte.)

@karenann Thanks for the huge compliment - a fav! Sorry; a bit misleading about the lighting. I did use my flash also - lowest setting -- and experimented with covering portions of it up. Other shots I didn't use the flash: maybe I'll post one.....very different effect. All my best, Les x
