Shadows

I actually went in to buy these beautiful white roses and saw these little carnations sitting in the throw away section of the shop. I wound up coming home with them and had a photo in mind and as I was putting together the shot I noticed all the different shadows this little stem gave off and wound up taking this photo. So not only are these not the flowers I wanted or the shot I expected to take this is what I got. The thing that photography is teaching me is to look beyond what I see and SEE the possibilities.
