Description
I did an experiment a while back using natural backlighting, and I had so much fun I'm still thinking about it! Every once in a while I buy a bunch of cut flowers from my local grocer, bring them home, put them in the living room window, and start snapping away. This time I actually bought the flowers thinking about how they'd look backlit!
Here's the result of my latest playtime. That's a teddy bear sunflower, by the way. It's easy to see how they got that nickname.
I've had a long week, and am off to bed a little early, so I'll catch you all this weekend! :)

A most excellent experiment, Tara! I especially like the gradient in the translucence of the sunflower. Well done.

Words fail me at this moment on viewing this magnificent display of backlighting talent. For want of more appropriate terminology, this came out real cool, my dear friend!
