Thank you 🙂 I was pleased with the effect of such a simple shot. What the photograph doesn’t reveal is that the flower was on a long steel stem over a meter long. It was just propped up against the wall in an antiques shop. In order to take the picture I had to have my foot on the bottom of the stem to keep it away from the wall and to stop it turning! I took three shots and this one worked best with the shadow. Thank you for your encouraging comment to kick off a new year on Postcard Cafe. Best wishes, PC

Everything is right about this – composition, light, shadow. I love it! A nice start to 2014

Well, the little bit of work behind the scenes really paid off!
great shot!
Thank you.
It was taken on Broadfield Road at one of the antique centres!
I think I know which one it is the one opposite that tricky T junction.
