Chasing the light

Day 11 of 365

 

An unexpected moment of dramatic, natural light captured in the garden. I stumbled upon this single Cape Marguerite daisy beautifully illuminated by a harsh shaft of sunlight, creating a perfect natural spotlight against the deep shadows of the surrounding foliage. I loved using Lightroom to subtly refine the dark, moody contrast and emphasize the delicate glow reflecting off the purple petals.
