The picture is so beautiful!!
The details are wonderful!
The title enhances the meaning and beauty of the flower, and makes the viewer understand and see even more the beauty and wonder of this flower.

Wow! Nicely captured. Strong initial impact. Vibrant colors. Beautiful and interesting flower. Nicely contrasted with the background. Your framing is great as well. Well focused image.

This is the kind of photo that I strive to create. There is so much beauty in the simplicity and excellent framing. This takes one in immediately and the imagination wonders as to the incredible place that must be around it. It speaks volumes.

You've inspired me, Sam. I usually use Manual or just FLASH OFF and just really get close to the subject. Thank you so much.

What a beautiful flower. It is very unusual. I can't help you with the identification. The focus is clear and crisp. Good lighting. I like the blur of the background green. Initial impact is, "WOW."
