Very atmospheric shot. Nice light you have caught. I like the fact you have not used a flash. At least it looks like you haven't, which is just as good. I like the soft background as well.

With shots like these, I always take along some clippers or scissors. Be prepared to do some pruning of distracting background foliage and/or flowers. It's all about controlling the composition, and this most importantly includes the background.

From memory no flash. Taken at friends place when showing of the new sigma lens to their daughter who is also a keen photographer

Very nice, the bell has lovely light and I like the darker buds behind.
