I'm wondering about the composition of this. I have always taken pictures straight on and I'm trying to move around more and see what else I can get.
Thanks for sharing your input

leonaashlee,

Night Blooming Cereus? It's the third one I've seen in 24 hours! Lindyannajones has a different species, also lovely. I'm all for exploring different positions, angles and lighting, and this one is more interesting than a centered straight-standing plant. Good for you, for exploring.

Yeah, I agree with him, centered straight-on flowers can get boring.
For more angles, you could have changed to a vertical position and got more of the stem.
Nice capture anyhow.
