This is a stunning capture of these Strawflowers! The way the light has captured the yellow and brunt orange of the flower. You have captured that predawn light bluish cast. Nice sharp focus and details! Your artistic background of the blurred flower and background compliment your photo. Good luck in the contest you have my vote! A pleasure to view! Thanks for sharing!

A beautiful picture of these Everlasting Straw Flowers / Xeroclrysum bracteatum , that are native to Australia. They have papery bracts/petals. The Cultivated varities come in many colours, in the wild they are golden yellow. Beautiful composition, framing & soft atmospheric lighting through the mist in the background. Taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
