I know, right....three minutes to spare
I'm glad I wasn't on daylight saving time

After cooking dinner I decided to have another attempt at this flower this time at night using different lighting & exposure. Boy, it turned out so flat, even though there was more detail in the petal. I must've blown a zillion bubbles trying to get one to settle for long enough in the right spot. No bubble blower so I used an empty pen, and no glycerine, things got worse when I switched to an ultra (concentrated) detergent after I ran out of the previous one. Turns out ultra gives very weak bubbles. This is my first time around doing macro & I was also learning to shape light & first time using a black background and a white reflector. And then so much tidying up afterward. So I'm not surprised I cut it so finely

My first attempt was was the day before (pale pink flowers) but I hoped I could do better with the one day to spare. Talk about learning macro under pressure
