I really like the simplicity and composition of this image. It's truly striking, original and dramatic.

Hi Mary,

I love this shot. Tell us more about how you took this one. I have to tell you, the first thing I thought of when I looked at your pic was Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment logo. Very nice. #560

Hello again.
I was trying to take some shots of the moon, and this flower got in the way. I can't recall the exposure, but I think it was several seconds, taken with 400 ASA, as I recall. I don't usually write down the specifics, since there are so few shots I really cherish when I shoot.

Beautiful in its simplicity, but I also love the sense of desolation I get from this photograph. Truly evocative.
