These sure are very interesting flowers. We have them in Arizona and we always one wanted. Very good detail and color produced by the great light you have.

Great subject and composition, mate and very well csptured. You have framed your lovely bottlebrush so well. Great natural colour which contrasts so well with the background. I would have liked to have seen some camera details. Great exposure, crisp focus and your DOF is very, very good. Hope you drank a glass or two of wine to celebrate this one. Well done.

Thanks Terry, appreciate your positive feedback. Definitely did a fair bit of wine tasting and enjoyed a bottle with dinner that evening :)

Wine tasting does improve your eye.

Yes, it really looks like a bottle brush that I use to wash my wine bottles. I like the color. Good composition, focus and detail. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Sam

Thanks again Mark, there is some amazing variety in nature to capture.

Comment from outsideMAN
I love these but still not got a decent shot of one! Nice big frame filling composition presented here of a very beautiful flower. Your shot is very sharp and very well exposed providing us with lots of great detail and natural looking colours. Very good photo, well done!
