Indoor shot........this gladiolus was leaning over in a vase by the window and I liked the effect of the back lighting from the sun streaming in.
The b/g is vegetation in the garden.
I don't like the harsh light from direct sunlight for floral shots but here I felt the areas of light and shade were interesting.
However, it's not one of my better floral shots and I had been considering binning it but thought I'd see what you might say before doing so.
My thanks to all who commented on The Gaze.
Ronnie.

A very informative foreword, and 'flaming heck' Ronnie, I thought my screen and burst into flames. Stunningly intense warming colours in a fusion of beauty. A truly wonderful spectacle, which you have captured at its very pinnacle of beauty.
Regards Nathan
Beautiful image Ronnie, fabulous colours and light
Hugh
Like the light creating shadows and the background is natural Ronnie, nice one.

If you had cloned out the right hand bloom I think this would have been picking up awards, Ronnie. The lighting and colour, accentuated by the vignette, make this well worthwhile saving.
Dave
whoah!!!
What beauty and the lighting is wonderful
the mixture of the light and shadow makes this a fine capture Ronnie certainly not one for the bin thats for sure
Graham
This is a beauty, Ronnie, love the lighting - I certainly wouldn't bin this if it were mine! 
Trev 
Wonderful detail and presentation Ronnie, excellent work mate.
I really like the effect you have here Ronnie, for me the shadows add to the structure of the composition, the detail and colour is as always superb,
Geoff.
A wonderful feeling of inner glow Ronnie.
Dougie
My goodness Ronnie - don't bin it !!!! STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
Pam
These flowers are so difficult to photograph.........nice shot..........
wonderful warm honey colours enhanced by the back light. the vignette is discreet and lovely.
Gorgeous colouring here Ronnie, a really lovely image.
John
This is really beautiful.. Ronnie. I love the silky feeling of the flower, the light and colour are excellent as always.
I love this flower, and tried to grow them once,but failed. I learnt that they need very good sun light..
BTW, thank you for your comment on the bouy.
The lighting works perfectly and the colour is simply glorious, you'd have been a foolish man to have binned this
