What a beauty you have captured here Pat. The vivid colors are so dramatic and yet have a subtle look ad feel. Spot on focus ad color rendering. Really a cool shot here Pat. Kudos ~ Steve

Thank you very much Steve!

A LOVELY PHOTO! It must have been just one of the images you wished to capture! The bold colour sets it apart from the background, and I love how the centre "shoots up".

Excellent close up, Pat, showing this gorgeous Trollius - what a beautiful colour. I like the angle you used for this, including the blue flowers in the background which contrast so well with the yellow/orange. The softened background makes a perfect frame. Excellent lighting and focus showing great clarity. Beautiful composition. Suzanne

Pat,
A beautiful glowing picture of this orange gold coloured Trollis flower framed beautifully by it's contrasting green foliage. Artistic composition, framing & lighting that makes it appear to glow, taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Every gardener in the lower 48 will want to hightail it up to Homer to see this beauty in person! What a dramatic blossom. Your isolating it with the dark green background adds to its distinctiveness.

A beautiful flower whose unusual structure is well shown. The image is well composed and the colors are beautiful. The detail in the petals is outstanding.

Beautiful rich colors with excellent lighting. The contrast between the orange flower and green and purple colors in the background is very appealing. Composition and cropping are very well done. Focus and depth of field are also very good.
