Found this Red Tulip by the kitchen sink tonight. I think by tomorrow they will be gone. Not usually a fan of flash flares, but I liked this one. I placed an off camera strobe to the right and below the flower. Set on Manual at 1/64 with a paper towel over the top as a diffuser!
ISO 1000 ƒ/16 t1/100
