Alternate Orientation.

I was shooting test roll in a friends camera when I found my Monstera had opened it's first flower for the season. With less than 10 minutes before the orange autumn sun was about to disappear behind my neighbors roof I ran inside and got my camera. The shadows from my wattle trees moved across the flower as I explored the curves from every angle I could. I stopped when the light failed. I thought this photo looked special and comments from those I've shown it too confirm that. Abstract,sensual and softly textured. Some think it looks like a butter curl, a sea­-shell or skin. The photo was taken looking almost straight down so orientation is largely personal preference.
