Late Bloomer

Here's a sunflower, 3 exposures +1, 0, -1, at night, with only a tripod and a LED flashlight with a paper cup "filter" on it- street lighting in background. CS5 HDR, 35mm macro lens @ f4.0 (Pentax gear). I was going for surrealism...

I like it. I only wish all the seeds were in focus.

Thanks- I agree about the DOF, maybe I'll re-shoot it tonight (if it hasn't wilted in the heat)- perhaps there will be less of a breeze to allow longer exposures/smaller apertures. The paper cup-as-light-diffuser worked a charm, however, and definitely softened the harsh LED light.
