Comment from Kenneth Dinkel
Kind of looks like a shrimp but where is the cocktail sauce. Wonderful contrast of yellow and green with the soft back ground, A vivid portrait that captivates the viewer.

Comment from JIRINA
It is unusual plant but very interesting both in red and yellow. Nice clarity showing in this work, especially in the flower. Leaves show lot of details and nice reflection of the plant in the background.

Very much nicer than the average 5 star photo that is posted. Nice lighting and great selective focus. Very high visual impact makes this a pleasing submission.

You are quite welcome. Well deserved.

Comment from mamamary
This is gorgeous. The entire composition is spectacular. The background color you chose is perfect. The shadowy background against the sharp focus of the flower is a very special effect. I love it.

Nice initial impact. Like the group of threes. Nice colors, lighting and focus. Good composition. Like the texture in the leaves. Like the complimentary color of the background.
