This is a zucchini squash blossom closing up for the evening. From "Little Shop of Horrors." Taken in the evening when the light was fading fast, so I resorted to using the auto setting for close up. I put my hand in front of the flash just as it fired. This is the true colors that were recorded. The only editing I did was crop, resize, unsharp, & save for web.

This a zucchini blossom closing up for the night. I took the picture at dusk & had trouble getting the right light setting. I used the auto setting for close up, put my hand in front of the flash just as it fired, & this is how the color came out. The colors are bizarre, but I thought it was appropriate for the theme. (Little Shop of Horrors) BTW, if you haven't tried this technique, be warned that the flash is HOT. I don't know if it is harmful to the camera. I hope to submit more photos if I can find my way back thru the maze of sending it in:) thanks for the critiques.

Does look a bit like that closed mouth about to yell, "FEED ME!"

I agree about the focus on the leaves, but this is a nice composition. Colors are great too.

With the dark tone it is a touch of the macabre. Like it.

Nice colours to this. Love the dark hues and tones. I wish the focus was on the rose rather than the leaves though.
