That is awesome, I have never seen one of them and it looks like grannies bonnet. Great composition, excellent focus giving very nice detail in it, nice colour clarity and perfect DOF. Excellent camera work, thanks for sharing.

Excellent image..technically a super shot. You made use of excellent lighting which allows for such subtle highlights and shadows. Great texture and detail in this bloom. I love the perspective this shot was taken at as well.

It is a beautiful flower the likes of which I have never seen. Thanks for showing it. Outstanding composition
which shows how they grow without distracting from the real image. Good natural colors and outstanding composition.

Very nice close up of this pretty little flower. I like all the patterns shown in the petals and also like how you've focused on one with the soft background really making it pop.

Lighting and focus very good. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Very nice photo of the Granny's Bonnet shown in this photo. Lighting is perfect with a great DOF of blurred background. Love the veins shown throughout the flower with the buds of new growth in the back. Nice photo, thanks for sharing.

Nice shot for granny! Dof is great and the flower and story go well together, I think the flower is slightly out of focus, so the half. but a great capture
