Tulips.
Late afternoon winter light streamed sideways through the window to illuminate these tulips. Once I remembered to open up the lens to blur the background (a bedsheet hanging on the wall), I got some good results. I used HDR in somewhat of a non-traditional way- to fill in the harsh shadows from the sidelight. I think a flash is the conventional way to achieve the same effect.
