This pretty flower was sticking its face out of the flower bed at Tower Hill Garden, casting it's little shadow on the edging, as if to say that it was hoping for some attention. I couldn't ignore it, could I?

I guess you couldn't ignore it COG. The extreme heat has been getting to a lot of folks this summer. Just sayin' ...........
Looks like a pinwheel. Nice shot.

Oh, and my favourite colour too. You just have to tell me how you managed a sapphire shadow from a Royal Crimson flower.

I probably would have picked it and taken it home! LOL. It's driving me nuts trying to figure out just how you did this. Did you layer the flower onto the background? It doesn't look layered in. Whatever you did, you did a smashing job.

I think I would be tempted to clone out the shadow on the ground!...other than that, the background textured adds to the contrast of the lovely bloom

---I couldn't ignore it, could I?---

My answer is brief and simple Cindy: No, you couldn't, else we didn't have seen this very fine post.

Would have done however the same, lol!
