 I think the idea I had is better than the execution.

I wanted the highlight the full moon in the shot, but that seemed to take attention from the flower.

I tried several lighting options including colored gels. A slight yellow tint to the single main light gave the best results.

RAW edit in LR. USM and resize in PS and save for web.
