Default Memorial Flowers
Why wife's grandma dies this last week and these flowers were given to us as a present by friends. I wanted to capture them, in an interesting way, as a mini-memorial.

I used a tripod and my 100 F2.8 Macro inside at dusk just using the available light and shooting so that the background is 40 feet away in the dark to emphasize the flowers.
