I'm not a fan of flower shots, but that one is very simple and has lovely
texture. The black background is essential for its success. It brings to
mind Weston's (?) or Stieglitz's (?) photo of the blown roses, and also
Ernst Haas's red tulips.

Alas, digital photographers frequently waste their time shooting things like -- dare I say it -- flowers. Yes, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I shot another flower. It's a rhododendron bud that is just about to open. It will be the first of the big leaf rhodies in my yard. It's also one of my favorites, because the buds are a nice shade of crimson that fades to pink as they open. What a waste of electrons <vbg>. Anyway, it's here: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3358104
