Paper Flower

Well this photo took much more time than I probably should have spent on it. That would be in keeping with today's theme: Feeling Busy Without Accomplishing Much.

Got it in my mind to do something for Mono Monday, but the only flowers I saw all day were bright orange. Then it occurred to me to have a bit more fun with backlit paper, and after some trial and error this is what I came up with. 

I'll pay for it later in the week when I have to catch up with the course work I didn't get done tonight. On the bright side, when I started this whole project at the beginning of the year it never would have occurred to me that I could make an image like this with my camera. So I guess that's progress of a sort.
