Wow how beautiful flower. Like that colors very much. Flower colors goes so nicely with background color.

thankyou Vyeko. the flowers look so much more vibrant against the brown background of the desert. it's almost like they glow.

Nice detail!! These things only bloom for a short time I think...nice that you got one!

great colors against the muted background - nice

thanks guys. :)

Simply beautiful!

Gorgeous colours, great depth of field, and really like the composition. Nicely done.

I agree. Also the texture of the flower almost makes it look like it is painted. Love it.

thanks guys

Interesting composition here - I dig it, as well as the processing.
There is a glow coming from the inner flower that is awesome and subtle, I dare say a 10-15% dodge could make it glow even stronger.

That gorgeous flower among the brown dirt and rock is just beautiful....a very wonderful shot, Bambi. :thumbup::thumbup:

Beautiful flower, and very well presented here Bambi. Well done.

thanks all for the comments. Marko, I will try your suggestion.

Stunning processing here!
