Helleborus, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

This is another photo of one of my unusual double hellebore blossoms, photographed on white and processed for a semi-translucent effect while keeping fidelity to the actual colors.

I continue to enjoy working with the perspective correcting macro lens I used to take this photo. It’s even kind of amusing (in a creative anachronism fashion) to have to manually stop the diaphragm down when I’m ready to take the photo.
