This is an image of a Cornflower shot in natural light, with the evening sun coming in from the side.
Using software I have slightly exaggerated the image to nudge it over from botany into fantasy. It is called Isadora after Isadora Duncan because the shape of the flower's petals reminds of Isadora's penchant for flowing scarves. The contrasting blacks in the image give the beauty of the flower a dark edge . . .Isodora 's love of scarves sadly caused her sudden demise - hence the dark edge.
