Flower Photo Competition 4 2012 : Entry Number 239

The simplicity with only yellow and black, as well as the straight-forward composition makes this image unique and standing out from others. This is a different way how to deal with the subject. It's simple and graphic. A beautiful way this is!

Hello, I am Christino. I would like to thank you for the recognition in choosing my photo as one of the finalists. As I was sitting on my porch talking to my mother I just happened to glance over and saw this flower nicely illuminated and the great shadow cast from the garden edging and the flower itself. So I grabbed my camera took a few shots and came out with this photo in the end. This image was taken in my yard(SE Michigan), with a Canon T3i, 50mm@1/100 f9, minimal processing with LR.
