Rose Cactus after the rain

Now here we have an example of floral photography at its best.

This is one of the most eye catching composition I have seen in quite awhile.

The color contrast extend in all directions, from soft and whispering to bold and shouting - eye candy supreme.

The central structures are seen in ultra high resolution and are well positioned in the frame.

As a measure of 'cool' the water droplets crush this composition.

As for intial impact this take blows that away - the moment you lay eyes on this take it take hold of you senses and imagination.

Whew! ... B-)) Bob

Very nice image of a flower I am not familiar with. The rain drops are well captured and look like small jewels on the petals. Good focus and good colors. Overall image may be a bit dark but still works. Well seen.

Best flower shot I've seen.
This is magnificent Eileen with beautiful array of color and gorgeous lush green background. This is truly beautiful in every way, can't compliment it enough! If it were in a contest it would've been a runaway winner! So soft and delicate with so much interest.
I could view it for hours and hours.

I think this is lovely.
I've never heard of the rose cactus before but it looks beautiful, especially as you have presented it here.
Well.

Great shot, Eileen. We have some of these growing by our Starbucks. They are lovely and the multitude of raindrops just add to the beauty. Superb lighting and color make it pop nicely. Perfect touch of leaves too. Excellent!

This is a beautiful flower and it's one that I have not seen before! Well photographed with spot on focus, the image is clear, lovely pink petals with yellow center detail, the rain drops further enhance the beauty and bring a liook of freshness ! The drops are crystal clear, nice angle of shot, well exposed, the colors and tones appear natural! Well presented!

Wow. This is just a remarkable photo Eileen. I love everything about it. From the details and glow of the petals to the water droplets to the lush greens of the leaves. Tis is a real wall hanger. This is just too good to settle for a short run. Soooooo
