For less than 24 hours per year this lady radiates pure beauty, then she fades away to bloom another day.

Very nice Andre...the mood is great and the darkish fading background as the rest of the petals slightly disappears onto it is quite exquisite.

Nicely captured.

Great image, well done

I like the way you've exposed for the flower. It stands out so nicely against the dark background. Very nice.

Nice capture Andre!

Absolutely superb!

Pure beauty in your own words. And I agree. Excellent.

I thank you all for the positive comments. It is much appreciated.

It was not an easy shot to make. I had to do it at night with a single on camera flash. In this case it is better to underexpose a tad, over exposure or even “correct” exposure can so easily blow the highlights.

For those whom have enjoyed this image, here is another.
