This is a lovely shot and I really like how you composed and presented it.You did quite well with the focus,clarity,dof and the excellent backlighting.I also like the diagonal placement of the flower.It looks to me like a daylily.Thanks so much for sharing this~

Impressive capture! An interesting initial impact. Nice bokeh effect adds drama to the backlit bloom. Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Bright lighting. Diffused focusing.
Creative concept. Innovative approach. Imaginative presentation.
Thanks for sharing...
