Counter-flower

There were a few of these on the folks' counter last night. I think they're lilies, perhaps which have had their stamen removed? I'm not sure. But, they were pretty, and I had some decent equipment to try to pull off a good shot, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Especially with the water droplet on the pistil (that is what that thing's called, right?).

 

The wide-angle lens is not usually my choice for flowers, but I think it worked pretty well here.

 

I left that touch of light seepage in at the bottom to give some character to the negative space. It's easily removable, but I kind of like it. Not that it's particularly visible here on Flickr...
