I don't normally take flowers in strong sunlight, but when I saw this group backlit by the sun in the living room window, I couldn't resist trying a shot.

My thanks to all who commented on Winter Sun on the Arrochar Alps, and a big thank you to Andy {andylea} for his User Award.

Ronnie.

The backlight makes them shine, a magic, festive effect.

The backlighting creates a lovely collage effect from the overlapping leaves and there is a great lead through the comp from the stem at the left to the terminal flower heads. Very accomplished! Smile
