A part of the daily inspiration email for this prompt was about taking a photo where the subject is unhindered by background details. Simplicity, a clean background where nothing detracts from the subject.
This is an almost opened blossom from the lemon tree. I placed it on the black glass of our outside coffee table as I wanted to get a reflection in the shot, with a solid black background. Which one would think would be possible as the blossom was on a black piece of glass. Needless to say I was completely surprised when I looked at the photo and there was no sign of a background. Never mind, I actually quite like the simplicity of the white ... But I have no idea what happened. Perhaps the angle I was at taking the photo meant that what the camera was seeing was the reflection of the white ceiling. Who knows, but sometimes the unexpected works out better than the planned!
