Nice colour and sharp focus on the flower. Also the bokeh looks good and so does the depth of field.

Focus and bookeh were praised already and so were the depth. Therefore ditto ditto ditto. :)

A very nice DOF and bokeh on this shot Christian - I've not seen this on any of my wildflower walks.

It it's not a rose, chances are I won't be able to pronounce it, Christian. Such is the case here.
However, that does not keep me from enjoying its beauty.
