Light and Shadow

Another morning I woke up, noticed the light through the blinds falling on the door, glass table top and iPad and ran for my camera with macro lens attached.

Just happened to see these tulips in a vase against a black wall as we were exiting the gallery and grabbed this quick shot, still with the 60mm macro (90mm equiv), without checking the aperture, yielding the overly narrow depth of field.
