This so clear and sharp, well done.
The lighting is great and how it filters down onto the petals.
Great focus, no background.
Beautiful flower, do you have any idea what this flower was?
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for your positive feedback. The title is the name of the flower (which I can't pronounce) it is a native of South Africa and in the Protea family.
