"I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more." -
Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)
I agree with Bruce. From the title I was sure you had given up on flower shots for the much easier task of shooting macros of venomous snakes.
Once again I have to compliment you on the silky look in many of your flower photos. This one is a beauty since you can actually see the minute texture in the petals as well. Add a matching colored border, and this is an excellent presentation.
I thought maybe a picture of your lucky penny was in order. A good photo of this lovely bloom. Nice colour and textures in the petals and lighting in your shot. The focus seems a little too soft.
