A very nicely lit blossom. The texture in the petals is outstanding and the colors are beautiful. I like the way the flower stands out from this background and the way it seems to glow.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Vibrant bloom with fine
features & textures with painterly feel.
Dramatic illumination.
Centered framing.
Radiating background image.
Verdant foliage adds a subtle contrast.
Thanks for sharing...

Welcome!
Comment from cleo85
I guess I am bound to get homesick today. This is another flower I had in my garden at the Yucatan. There are color variants, but you found one which looks indeed like gold came to life. The shadow glow behind the blossom emphasizes that feel. It reminds me of a Nahuatl legend that there is gold hidden in the mountains where the vine grows.

Comment from nature rules
This is lovely,... with your reflection in gold. Well done with the mirrored yet enlarged shapes. Excellent work and knowledge of your tools! That is the initial impact for me..it seems like the light has not only created a shadow but a reflection.
Your single flower is so perfect it would make a lovely boutonniere or corsage. I like seeing the textures in the petals...almost waxlike. Is that characteristic of this flower? The stamen seem to be catching that light creating that reflection.
Thank you for the informative artist notes. Lovely job..as always. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great close-up with excellent initial impact.
The colors are beautiful and as I like,bright and bold.
As far as the execution,all technical aspects,focus,clarity,
depth of field and lighting are all spot on.
What I really appreciated were the very informative
and detailed notes you wrote about this work.I did
like that and thank you for sharing this work~

Comment from PeglegDeb
Really good notes w/ this one av. We can only grow varieties of this family as annuals here where I live.
Just stunning crisp detail here. The stamens and pattern of the individual petals are absolutely gorgeous.....as is the gold coloration. I like the way you've used your light w/ this one too....and the way you've transposed the blossom onto the background.
The most lovely flower and the filter work you've done here has jumped your little square formatted presentation up a notch or two. Beautifully put together piece av.
