A difficult colour to capture well Cornelius - but of course you have done so perfectly. Lovely velvety texture in the petals and I like your presentation.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Another one of those magical shots. I'm not sure how you get the flower bloom and leaves outside the border, but it gives great depth to the shot. As always, the shot looks flawless to me.
Dorothy Michaels: No, just Dorothy. Alan's always Alan, Tom's always Tom and John's always John. I have a name too. It's Dorothy, capital D-O-R-O-T-H-Y.
Really like the angle of this shot Cornelius - the color is wonderful as red can be difficult to get just right - the buds and the framing round out your image nicely!!!:-):-):-)
