This shot was taken at dusk and that particular leaf was iluminated by my trusty surefire flashlight.
This Daylily was dealing with the heat and humidity in a far more beautiful fashion than I was. Not a drop of sweat on it, whereas I was drenched by this time.
The sun was in full bright beaming and this flower was showing its best colors. I noticed in post processing that it was the only bloom on a green stem which had previously contained at least four other blossoms. Someone, perhaps the arborist, had trimmed off blooms, leaving this single solitary masterpiece. There were other stems with other blossoms, but this one suited my composition sense best.
I wanted to highlight that single bloom, drenched in sunlight, with the surrounding green leaves and spots of color from other flowers in the background. You can tell that this is part of a cultivated flower bed, designed for color. Just beyond these is a full bed of yellow daisies, a splash of yellow with black dots.
No matter what is around us, we have the opportunity to shine, simply by being the best at who we are.

I shot a few frames of these flowers last year — they're right next to the entrance, and sometimes overlooked but very photogenic.
