 A backlit Rudbeckia (brown-eyed Susan). Not a lot of PP. Slight bump in contrast, slight lightening of shadow area.

Thanks, everyone, for the nice comments.

Although I hate to spill my secrets ;-), the shot didn't require quite the gymnastics some of you envision. First, the flower was in a planter that was nearly waist-high. Second, I used my little point-and-shoot that has one of those fantastic flip-out-and-twist LCDs, which gives you the ability to contort the camera into all sorts of weird angles while still seeing the framing in the LCD. I wish those flexible LCDs were available on EVERY camera.

. . . and that is how I like my eggs as well! Supper,super shot. Gotta know though. . . did you take the shot blindly from underneath or are you one of those tiny garden gnomes!?

It is beautiful - interesting perspective and unusual viewpoint. The undersides of flowers are often very pretty! Nice work!
