The Other Daffodil Photograph

When I decided to photograph the Daffodil indoors the other day, I tried a number of things.  I started by putting it into this bud vase that I bought somewhere years ago.  I was using the soft natural light in the back room for this photograph.  I particularly liked the almost ghostly feeling of the flower which is so softly lit, against the pale gray background.  I did some closeups of the just the bloom and the background but the photograph was not complex enough.  But this image is my favorite.  Until Kathy saw me working on it, and said "Where is the closeup of the flower from the side, against the black background.  It is so much more dramatic."  Wow.  She was right, of course, so that's the version I posted the other day.  So now you see my more subtle photograph.  Maybe it is too subtle.
