This is a great photo of this beautiful weed. The whole flower is perfectly sharp and stands out very well against the out of focus background. The colors are beautiful. Good luck in the contest.

A great take of a large boldly colored american original. Call it a flower or a weed it is a gorgeous flower with an attitude.

Camera management is very complimentary to this flower.

High detail and deep DOF make a very impressive image.

The blossom is in ultra high relief with a soft and gentle background.

Framing this large bloom in this manner makes for a dramatic burst of color for the viewers eye.

This is a very well constructed and produced image ... B-)) bob

So pretty. I love the contrast. The clarity of the flowers is great. Wonderful blurred back ground. Where was this taken? The lightening is amazing.
