Wonderful colors. Beautiful flower. Like the background except if the background on the flower's right, my left, were more smoothly blurred but leaving the greens, I think it would be almost perfect. it takes away a little I think.

    You did a fine job in your capturing of the scene.

The colors on this flower are truly stunning. Cherry Brandy is a perfect name for them!
I have been photographing plant life and flowers this past year using my fixed old school vintage wide angle lens. It was created for the old 35 film cameras. It's my night lens and my take with me lens every where I go.
I like the up close POV if this with a dreamy DOF.
Well done Lisa :)

This is a beauty.
I have never seen a Cherry Bandy Black Eyed Susan.
The vibrant colors are lovely to view. The petals frame the center of the flower But, it would be interesting to zoom in more to the center allowing the viewer to get a better look at this amazing design of nature. Nice photo. Good focus, clarity and technique. And, background colors and blur add well to the composition.
Best of luck in the contest.
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful image here! The colours even look delicious, so rich and vibrant. The detail you captured in the center really adds to the quality of the image. The background is nicely blurred, yet adds depth. Very well done! Thanks for sharing

This is beautiful! I love how the pedals start dark red and go to bright red! I love the blurred background, it makes the flower really stand out! I will say, the red pedals on the very left of the pic are a bit distracting, but this is still a wonderful picture! GREAT job! And good luck in the competition!
