Gorgeous flower with amazingly beautiful colors. The lighting and composition are fabulous, as always, a lovely shot with great initial impact.

Beautiful image and... I learned the name of this flower. LOL - Always learning something here on FAR. Great focus with fine detail on the bloom. The colors are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
