©WhiteAngel Photography. Monstera deliciosa in its rarest blossom. Needs to be magnified to see details! (Upper half part of the plant in frontal sunlight)

            The plant Monstera Deliciosa (fam.philodendron). This is an experimental macro taken from far, from the furthest point where I could still focus on the mesmerizing blooming flower/fruit.
Shot in natural daylight and positioned frontally vs the sunlight.
At present, my Monstera is about 1.65 mt tall. Here it's photographed more than its half hight in the upper part.

My photo is NOT contour cut-out i.e. the plant is NOT cut cropped along the edges (pro photographers know well how that is possible avoiding to crop out the subject/map it on a fake background). I have used a real black backdrop carried outside.
The slight but engaging edit, mainly via a shading filter work, presently at my best of possibilities, doesn't conceal any spots nor defects of the plant, mainly due to the daily spraying water to the leaves surface. Instead, is aimed at strengthening the visibility of both shape & innervation* of the leaves while the preminent focus is on the macro of the bud (I should name the nervation per *texture, like the texture of a fabric or of a surface but I will avoid it as this lemma is perceived in a total different way by digital manipulators). 
Colour adjustment on the flower to take out red veerations caused by the sunlight as in reality the bud is optically white with no reddish hues. Just slightly creamy/greenish in the inside spadix. (The outside petal, which in reality is a modified leaf, is formerly greenish, then, by blossoming, it becomes candid white, then the petal in about 7 days will vanish turning into a brown colour but the inside fruit will stay & then turn back from white to green while growing. This will be seen in my future photos but in this one I wanted to frame the white of the flower in its bountifulness just 2 days after its opening).
