Another LED flashlight (flower) portrait

Wanted to get the picture with backlight flowing up from the bottom and through the center opening, hopefully making the flower glow.

The flashlight was bigger than the flower so it was a struggle to hide the light. As it was several hot spots came through. They are seen on the original. After a lot of time trying to learn to edit I decided the second was as good as it was going to get.

Comments, opinions and suggestions are welcome.

Suggestion: Use a smaller flashlight or use a washer to gobo the flashlight so you will have more control over the beam. Male sure the raw light is not shining through the spaces between the petals or flowers. Thamsillumonate the petals only.

OK- I shot a test with my new "WASHERlight! My granddaughter just gifted my wife withte a flower for her birthday.

I shot it with this contraption shown in the attached shot. It's an inexpensive LED flashlight and a metal washer.

Thanks for the idea- it was fun!
