A peculiar flower in a very nice natural setting. I like the color of the blossom and the very sharp details. The cropping is attractive and the presentation is quite eye catching.

Strange, to me, but beautiful flower presented here. It certainly deserves its full and central composition. The image is sharp and well exposed. Fine photo!

Comment from Joelgraphuchin
Omg...this flower should be entered into "exotic flower" contest or "flower contest". This is cool, rare, and yeah...exotic. Love this. My first time to see this.

The image is clear. Yellow color of banksia makes it outstanding against black background,

Well done and thanks for sharing.
