I think this image is beautiful because its an extreme close up and every little detail is seen. A large amount of contrast is seen in this photograph. Also I was able to make it happen because the lighting direction. The light on the side of the studio allowed the light to shine through the petal and made this image special. The light being on the side allowed me to get a hint of the leaf in the background smothly out of focus.
The light through the petal is gorgeous.
