This is a very successful image in both quality and impact.
It made to my laptop as its new desktop for this week.
Thanks.

A wonderful shot of this flower .... the colors are so bright & cheerful. Definitely brightens up my rainy & cold day. Looks great on the desktop also. Thanks Randy .... you did great.

Perfect description of this Randy. It will brighten my desktop today because we're having a gloomy, rainy day as well- Thanks!

This is so cool. Love the colors in the flower :)

What is it Randy? and don't tell me a flower(what kind) =D

Another great shot Randy, good colour, lighting and clarity... well done

Like a flowering fountain of color ! A great shot Randy ! You're really developing into a superb nature photographer !

What a odd looking flower. You did a excellent job at capturing this.

Damn thats a wierd looking flower what is it.

Oh my, what wonderfully intense colors you captured in this flower Randy! I love how the blossom is only partially open,,,,in a sort of teasing way. You have also achieved incredible details here as well as the colors. All around awesome image and one that is going to bloom in my favorites on my hard drive and then I can preserve it in mys screensaver slideshow program! Thanks for sharing this incredible colorful beauty with us :~)
Thanks also for the wonderful kind words you left for me on ~romantic evening~. The flowers is as seen straight from the camera. The only thing I did was "light" it up romantically. This is the benefit of all the hard work we have done. My poor aching back will testify to that! I am glad that you are able to enjoy my garden with me Randy and your support is so very deeply appreciated :~)

It looks like the hair on a muppets head .. your head too, if you were up for a little tom-foolery

Good stuff Randy. I was surprised to see your handle on it when clicked it open.....it's a delight to see that you like to keep us all guessing! Thanks.
