Comment from David Ruhl
This one really stands out! The orange flower petals just seem to pop out of that soft green background. Excellent focus, framing, and lighting. Well done!

Comment from Lucas Sizov
Nice, very nice! The notes are great and complete, as usual. This flower has many names. And my favorite is Fox-and-cubs. Love the combination of hot yellow-orange with cooler green. This is great! The shapes are amazing! I believe, this image will go to the higher category as far as rating.

A nice shot Envision, beautifully sharp and floating on that out of focus background.
I'm looking at it and I'm wondering if it might have more impact if the crop was a bit tighter. Nice as is though

I have to admit that I've never seen a orange Hawkweed before, a very colorful flower/wees. Natural colors and tones in the scene. Good lighting, sharp focus, good DoF, nice bokeh background, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a Very Beautiful Photograph, well done.

A beautiful photograph of this very colorful flower. Focus and clarity are excellent; love how the petal are shown so well defined; the blurred background serves to show the flower well without any distraction.

Grace,
A beautiful picture of this orange Hawkweed standing out in sharp focus from the blurred greens of it's background just waiting for a visiting bee. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Interesting notes on the flower and all the names. Love the orange contrasting against the green burred background and the details of the petals are shown well with sharp focus.

Your photo close up turned a weed into a beautiful bloom. The focus is very sharp. The details are well defined throughout the bloom. The colors are natural and also are vivid. The bokeh sets off the bloom in the frame. Excellent camera techniques.
