Description The overpowering flame in its most truthful essence.
Birth facing death all at once.
The irony of what we do to seek salvation.

Oh, the pure image in which represents all we have become, and all we have done.

I'm giving this mainly high marks because overall it is a very successful photograph. I have never really seen a photo of a plant or flower like this - most people take them outside in super bright light to be cheery, so I love seeing the contrast between the bright flower and the darkness around it.

Looking at your exif data I see your shutter speed is high at 10/1000 and your aperture is a little big (f/5.6). It would appear that the high shutter speed is what knocked out the ambient light, but I would suggest lowering the shutter speed so that you can pick a higher number f-stop, maybe aim for f/8 or a bit higher if you can. That'll let you get more details in the flower which I think would really make this cross the line from cool into stunning e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />

I'm very glad to see you like the originality of my piece, selizabeth.
And yes, I will try to use a slow shutter speed. although, it was very windy and raining yesterday. Slower shutter speed wouldn't have let me capture such detail.

Thank you! I loved making everything but the flower but itself light/colored. It gave a nice "lime light" effect to the flower. Also a nice moral as some may find in this piece.

What do you first think when you see this photo?
