Tricky azaleas

I tried multiple times of the day and several different days to get these azaleas in our front yard in better light, but didn’t like any of the results. So here they are in the morning sunlight right after they bloomed.

Lovely capture. I find the best times to photograph flowers are before 10am and after 4pm. Having light through the petals emphasizes their beauty.
