Nerrel Loader, Bathed in first light (ENTRIES CLOSED - December theme: Your favourite shot of '25)

I was out wondering around my backyard looking at what flowers spoke to me to photograph. Then I saw the morning sun's first rays hitting this Arctotis Silverdust Glow flower on our deck and knew I had to capture it. I normally never capture flowers in harsh light, but this vision spoke to me. I hope it does to you too!
