The picture exactly fits the mandate, however, it is probably one of my worst
flower shots! Someone told me it looked like a lily having a bad hair day!

It has little impact for me either, but the light angle was such that I took the
side of the flower instead of the normal inside view... I chose to make the
background all one color, so I had to also pick a weird view to achieve that.

This time I'm gonna wait for the proper light before I shoot, I should really
wait out the 2 weeks instead of jumping right in...

Thanks for the comments.
