Love the light and colours and shadows in this photo and stunning sharp detail too plus spot on composition as well.Plus it great to see natural colours in flower like this with the pale yellow and rich orange .Well done to a superb flower photography .
SAM, SAC is 'famous' for the way he uses the phenomenon 'shadow' in his images and SAAR is fond of everything that has a yellow color (bananas included, as I suppose, lol), so using an image of a shaded Calendula (Marigold) for your wonderful dedication is very a proper choice. Good that you didn't mention further names of other SA's, as the most of them prefer not to act in the shadow but in the dark, lol again.

I have not had internet for the last three days so please accept my apologies for not seeing this beautiful picture and dedication until just now. I do use yellow a lot. It, with orange gives my pictures a little extra "umph." Thank you ~~ John
