Due to a considerable range of lighting tones I utilized spot metering, emphasizing the brighter areas on the sheath harboring the buds; I did not want to risk grossly overexposing this delicate surface which would've obliterated the fine textural details. Similarly, I left untouched the distant background highlights, as the ill-defined contrast provides the canvas a sense of depth.
