Another attempt at the low key theme.

WOW ... love how you achieved textures in the petals along with the low light. This one has depth and it's a beauty!!

I like that almost hidden bud at the back too. Interesting to see if this pic gets into the theme - there seems to be a bit of trouble with the tag.

@karenann Thank you so much, Karen! I've been trying to get the right shot of one of these gardenias for several days! Was having a hard time with either the light or the flower itself. Finally a halfway decent flower opened today. The bugs are so bad right now!

@kerristephens Thank you, Kerri!
