I was hoping for a photo of a mauve wolf with a title like this. Beautiful colours and nice details in the photo, Kathy. Maybe widen the focus to get the tip of the flower into focus.
Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
After all these years I still don't understand how you achieve the silky look to the blooms while maintaining such exquisite detail. I know that you're a proponent of the use of lens filters, but there seems to be more going on here. Maybe some sort of software manipulation?
Such wonderful color and you captured is darn well, the green of the leaves makes for wonderful contrast of color.
