Location

It was one of many we bought from a nursery and planted in our garden, all blind at the time, didn't know what colour it was

Time

I was taking pictures of all sorts of flowers that day, didn't notice it at first, about 11 o'clock the sun was bright

Lighting

It was a nice sunny day, the sun was high and in my face, so I had to move the basket out of the light

Equipment

Samsung Galaxy J4 Plus mobile phone, had a steady hand then, I tried the flash at first but the photo didn't look right

Inspiration

I bought many viola's and these were planted with some geraniums in a hanging basket, as time went by all but this little beauty died, it looked so lonesome on its own and seemed to cry out for some attention. I took several pictures, but this one seemed to come out the best.

Editing

In my camera bag

Canon Power shot Camera Fujifilm Finepix S Samsung Galaxy j4 plus

Feedback

A steady hand or use a tripod, choose your subject well even study its finer points, take many shots, compare which is the best
