Good afternoon friend.
Even though I have a hard time pronouncing it, it is still very beautiful. God has given us so many wonderful, colorful things to make our world a delight.
I enjoyed, Loyd

I think it can be difficult to get an anthurium in total focus --- but you have succeeded.

Also, the tricolor is nice --- and the placement in the frame is superb... especially with the diagonal of the center part.

Perfect background... soft, but "there." Nice work

U know if u look sideways u can see this as a elephant in my funnie flowers..well.haven't done that but this gives me an awesome idea. So many ways I can throw some humor in this skit..thanks for the awesome idea!! The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of the colorful plant is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Great eye and.great job overall

Comment from nature rules
I think this is very nicely done. And yes, the green edge is unusual and adds to more to this tropical flower. I like your framing. It plays down the stamen that is usually distracting. I also think you did a good job with the red. It's saturation on a shiny flower is difficult for me to control. Excellent DOF too. All beauty! NR

A fine shot with outstanding colors which stand out well against the fine natural background. There seems to be a bit of a glare on the petals but the cropping is excellent.

How beautiful this is. Your focus and detail show the waxy shine on the petal, the colors are gorgeous and your lighting is excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Yes it is unusual with the green edge on the flower, but the flower is still really pretty and is standing out really well against the foliage in the background.

Your focus is spot on and sharp showing really clear and well defined details both in the petals and the yellow stamen. I also think the exposure is very good, and the colors nice and natural.

The photo is nicely cropped and the flower has got a good placement within the frame. Another well taken flower shot, and with a very good DOF.

You are most welcome Fred

Comment from kathy1256
When you look at this you almost wonder if it's a flower or a beautifully colored leaf with an unusual stem exploding from the center. It's really interesting.
