That flower bud fooled me. It opened last night a day ahead of my prediction. We got up early this AM. The image was made using Betty's sewing machine lamp as a general flood. Betty held a three cell flashlight to create the highlight. I took about a dozen bracketed images and used two of those images to create what you see. By eight thirty this morning it was closed never to open again.

I have checked the quality of this image in the raw file. It is strong enough to go large. I can make that happen privately if anyone is interested. I have last years edition enlarged to about 20 X 20 double matted and framed for my office. We are talking professional quality here. I would not cheap it out less than the best that can be done.

Here she comes. Pulling back the cover ever so easy.
