My Bowl of Sunshine [Photography Contest Details & Macro Photos]
Uploaded: December 17, 2011 22:26:21
Its Sana's (my younger daughter) Birthday today and this is dedicated to her on her special day. By the grace of God, she has turned 11 yrs today.
Using my Nikor 35mm lens mounted in reverse, got a close-up of the inside beauty of a Nargis Flower. Camera on tripod, Manual mode, f22, 15s, ISO 400 and ambient light coming from the window of my drawing room.

Beautifully captured Usman - Perfect for this special day! #1431006Chris Budny December 18, 2011
This is fantastic, Usman! While seeing the interior tells you its a flower of some sort, the rest of the comp barely suggests a flower---it really does seem like it could be a bowl or other vessel, with "flower parts" inside. Really terrific! #9875284Joy Rector December 18, 2011
