a photo turns out way different and better than you think it will. This is one of those times!

Thank you! It turned out way better than I ever thought it would.
I was experimenting with some exposure ideas that I had and trying to take a photo of one of my wife's favorite wild flowers....... The Trillium. I noticed this odd ball Trillium that only has 2 petals instead of the normal 3. It was stuck in a dark corner under a tree and a bunch of brush, so I got down on my belly and crawled back to it with my trusty 17-40 f/4 L and I tried out my exposure idea.
