Carolina M- The Morning Flower

I called this picture The Morning Flower because it look like a fresh flower thats just now waking up and blossoming. I took this flower at home in front of a window at an angle so the sunlight would reflect differently.I brightened up the picture and make the background darker so you can see the shadow it made a bit more clearly. I also used the smudging effect because it had some black particles i didn’t want to show. I kind of like how only part of the flower shows but I’m not sure. It could have been better if the flower didn’t have some of the brown smudges, but it is a real flower after all, so it couldn’t be too perfect.
