I needed some color in my life and this flower presented herself as my answer. Eye couldn't take my eyes off her, even though she had a pesky bit of a twig in her eye and I couldn't remove it for her....but she stuck around, and she still rivets me whenever I need a bit of uplift..perhaps I should warn you that at full upload you might want to readjust your monitors down a bit on the color saturation ...

Lovely colour, sharp focus on the centre - You wanted it for the sake of colour, as you say, otherwise I would have recommended showing the full flower. You must start looking for another one soon, PJ - remember she won't be with you much longer!

Sometimes tis best never to remove the twig, only to let it be dear lady. Im sure you love perfection like me, but that 'dainty beautiful flower' is expressing herself, and maybe the pesky twig and her are friends and it was to be just a short visit. You captured a beauty here PJ framing is perfect and I have it on my desktop. This makes the favs.

I would call it "what are you waiting for bee ladies" or "invitation for a feast". The full flower is not important but the heart. Thank you Pat.

Very Vibrant colours here, very clear. You have to see it in full size to get the full picture effect and see how clear the shot is. As always, it is truly wonderful.

Beautiful vibrancy in this baby, PJ! I love gerberas! They lend themselves so well to being photographed because they just are so voluptuous and exciting, especially when they are this shade! Wonderful floral!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I am comparing this to another work by you.......O'Keeffe.I like this one better as it is more loose and has spaces to improve perspective/contrast; it also is placed well.the framing is too "think' and dark methinks
