It is a type of Protea from South Africa - love the lighting on the flower which shows its beauty nicely. The blurred background works well and your focus is sharp on the flowerhead. :)

This is a beautiful capture. The lighting is especial appealing. The photo is well focused and exposed and has excellent depth. The soft colors are gorgeous. The white balance is exact. The flowers stands well out from the background. The soft background is intriguing and unobtrusive. The square framing is adequate. The flower is perfectly place within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Chris,
A stunning picture of this succulent or Cactus flower with the sunlight glowing through it's pink tipped white petals & the pink tipped green leaves . The dappled sunlight & shadows with more of these flowers creating a beautiful backdrop. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

It's a lovely flower with such an interesting shape and structure, pretty pale pink petals outlined and tipped in deeper red tones. Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural, well composed and presented!
