Flowering from darkness

I quite liked this shot (once I'd sorted it out in Lightroom, I'm having a real problem underexposing everything lately, it's doing my head in).

 

The flower was sticking out of my parents fence and I can't remember now why I was outside taking photos . . . I've got a feeling I was trying to run the battery down as it was flashing low last night - today it's back up to a full battery indicator! I'm impressed with the battery life on these Nikons!

 

Sooooo . . . it's a flower, the background was pretty much as dark as you see it here and I just adjusted the exposure (up), vibrancy (up) and saturation (down) in Lightroom, as well as putting a vignette round it to enhance the darkness.

 

And I just liked how it looked and wanted to make up slightly for the cuh-rap 365 I posted today.
