Gorgeous photo. I love how you captured this moment. How special that it was in your garden. I'm left wondering what kind of flower this is? Hibiscus perhaps?

Roger,
A beautiful picture of this deep orange Hollyhock with the sun glowing through the the petals from behind with a Black Ant near it's centre. Standing out in sharp contrast from it's dark blurred background.
Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Okay you can see the ant but it is small but i feel the main point is the flower in this and such a vibrant color as well,darkish background makes the flower stand out much more...Brian
