I love the brilliant oranges and yellows. I like the idea of seeing unopen blooms and the fact that the background is either flowers or leaves and not alot of other distractions. I think because you took this in full sunlight you got more brilliance in color and the ornages, rusts, yellows stood out more. Good Work!!
I'm echoing Kim's words on this one..it's a beauty of a capture and I found it first in the voting booth and it was so breathtaking that I immediately gave it a high score. It's so nice to see such brilliant natural color in November :)PJ
