Sorry Ian, but I'm glad you're having such cruddy weather or we may not have had the chance to see this lovely capture of yours. Don't throw such beauty away :) You really have talent Ian.

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
lol I love how you call your archived photos "trash" :p But I have to admit I've been digging in my archives as well these days...
Anyway, to the point: lovely color balance, the pink is subtle and sweet, but still stands out amidst the green... delightful

Just magnificent, fra, the color of the flower, the amount of openning, is really gorgeous!! The framing gave a final special touch!! Great shot, nice work!
