Fallen Bougainvillea by shesnapped

Fallen Bougainvillea

This mess of brachts and leaves, the inevitable mess that occurs once the plants are brought inside for the winter, has caught my eye, so I thought I'd try to see if I could do anything with it. This is my very large front window sill where quite a few of my plants spend the cold season. Used flash, pointed it to the left of the photo. Not at all sure what to think. WAY out of my comfort zone! Looks nice on black.

My biggest question: how do you bring indoor photography to life? Critique requested!!!
I think this works really well. Are you able to use your flash as a remote unit?

@swilde Yes, but I haven't figured out how to prevent my on-camera flash from firing as well.

@shesnapped You can't (in a word). You can buy a little flippy thing that goes over the front of your on camera flash...or at least you can for Nikon so I guess you can for Canon as well. Failing that you get to invent something that will sit in front of your on camera flash out of a milk carton or a plastic thingo and a range of paper clips...Have a play

Nice capture Ashley.Don,t ask me.Probably let a cat and mouse go at the same time into your scene.That could liven things up a bit.!!!!
