2012, Day 167 - Cupped

Yesterday I took a walk through one of my favorite neighborhoods.  Everyone appears to have a green thumb and their gardens are so lush and vibrant.  It was early afternoon and the angle of the light was really not ideal which meant that I needed to find creative angles.  This shot jumped out at me because there was a section where the petals were hanging out of the way like a window into the heart of the flower.  It was really quite beautiful and the hard light made most of the background disappear.
