The parent tree that produces these long, whiplike branches occasionally blooms with many lovely flowers. I've never been able to get a composition I liked in spite of shooting them many times though. Then I got lucky on the last walk and found these lone blossoms without too much background clutter. A ring flash was key to the shot and eliminated any strong shadows. Thanks for any critiques.

Thank you all very much. I'm happy it was worthwhile.

The flowers start to get ragged quickly, so finding these was fortunate.
