Glow-in-the-dark daffodils - Dan Fordice

I shot this photo at night using light from the window. G2, 45, tripod. I set the lens at 5.6 and let the camera choose the shutter speed.

Illuminating?
Difficult shot, but I'm puzzled by where the light was from - the moon or room light? I'd plumb for the latter given the colour of the daffs, but if this was an autumn moon... It took me a while to see on screen, but the brickwork could be quite complimentary, though there is some stuff catching the light at the bottom of the picture which has the same tone as the brickwork and does intrude. Since that would get worse if you brought the brickwork out, I'd suggest keeping the BG as dark as poss. Nonetheless, the overall effect and teh difficulty marks this one up, DOF notwithstanding.
