"Easter Flowers"

What Type of Camera and/or Lenses Did You Use?

I used my Fujifilm S1800. I don't know anything about cameras, but with luck it turned out great!

What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

It was Easter Sunday at my mom's. The weather was perfect! The sun was shining. I didn't have to use a flash. The lighting was great.

The flower was in a pot underneath my mother's porch. I moved it out to the picnic table so it wouldn't have a shadow or anything on it.

Advice
