Very exotic indeed...wonderful and unique in color and shape, this flower...great clarity and well balanced...an image rich in color and texture...very nicely composed...well done.:Pat.
How strange. Do you know what is this speciman? The flower so bright and extraordinary looks great against the dark water surface. I like it very much.
Ding ding ding, Correct you are, give Merino an exploding cigar! A "Passion Flower" it is! Great capture, one of my favorite Flowers, right up there with "Bird of Paradise".
Wow what a spectacular flower! i had a feeling this was a passion flower when i saw the picture. You really have to view this full screen to appreciate the clarity and crispness of this photo. the composition is good too..
