Moon Pie variety of hibiscus (another one? hey, it's spring!). Taken semi-early morning for shadows; centered w/'edge' for wallpaper use (I like icons around the edges of the screen). Natural light - no flash.
Very interesting image. I especially like the way the shadow of the stigma falls towards the left, adding further interest. I tend to agree with Saulius about the background - it distracts a little from an otherwise excellent subject. Apart from this minor point, great work.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

The first words to come out of my mouth was WHOA! when it opened up. I love the deep yellow outline with the ruffle edges and like that the background is dark giving this beauty the attention she deserves. Thank you so much for sharing this with me, I feel so special to be with people who love the same.
