This is gorgeous! The colors are so bright and beautiful. The background adds to the beautify of the flower. The center of the flower looks like it is on fire. Great focus, position in the frame and composition.

Your welcome

A stunning shot of this bloom..the colours are brilliant. That purple blending in with the Alizum crimsons and scarlet reds are just exquisite and the sharpness of your focusing is excellent assisted by the diffusion of your backdrop

Comment from Jack Moore
This is a beautiful flower and I really like it. I like the dark background which really makes it stand out really well. The only thing bad about it is they just don't seem to last very long, it would be nice if it would though, I guess that's why we take pictures of beautiful things where we will always have it, now if we could only capture the smell to go right along with it. Thanks for sharing this and keep up the great work. JackJr.
