Absolutely stunning image! I agree the flower is difficult to photograph. This is absolutely the finest photograph I have ever seen of this flower. The background is so lovely, and the lighting is just exquisite. Impressive work!

Beautiful image. I love the colors, the background (both design and color) and the placement of the flower in the frame that offers a nice compositional element. Pretty. Kathy

Wonderful treatment of this bird of paradise. The flower is about perfect in its presentation, the colors stand out well against the muted background. Great elan, wonderful first impression. Excellent post processing work.
