Beautiful shot. the leaves are very neat looking. I like the contrast of the orange and white. nice job.

Nice shot. I like the flower filling up almost the whole screen but leaving room for some greenery. Great capture.

Very nice. Loving the colors. Very beautiful shot!

Great texture and light -- the silky smoothness of the pedal and shimmering grey/silver palette against the orange/gold. Wonderful capture, Simon. Kudos.

Really nice.

Thank you all very much - I'm glad you liked it :-)
