I had a hard time deciding on whether to frame or not frame this one. Frame won for the time being. I don't know the name of this flower. I like the colorings in these guys. Comments appreciated as always.

oh, my....color splash is right... this is beautiful..don't look to me for the correct botanical names of flowers. I've already had my head chopped off for mistaking silk flowers for real :( but I like this image and the frame is perfectly suited to this rendering.....a ten when it comes up in the voting booth...

I think these are gazanias. What a splash of color all right, but boy, what a way to start the day! I think the frame makes this a real stand out shot! But, I think it would be beautiful without the frame too, so I would have had the same dilemma. Either way, it is a stunningly bold composition and I love it!

This is great Ruby. The colors are so vibrant and I like the frame you added. It looks terrific full screen and is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing this beauty. Anita

Absolutely stunning shot! Nice sharp focus and I agree with you about the frame. It really intensifies the color and holds it all together.

What a lovely clump of Gaillardias!I am not sure about the frame -it's colour distracts rather than concentrates your eye on this great photo!

They just fill the screen with color when enlarged. These are some beautiful flowers Ruby. Excellent capture of them.

What an amazing shot Ruby! It is absolutely perfect!! I would have sworn it was a painting. I hope it comes up for me in the voting booth - it deserves nothing less than a '10'! Stunning!!! Vicky

Had to take a second look to make sure this was real. Frame adds just the right touch, for sure. Details on time of day, camera settings would be appreciated.

A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend a camera. She said "I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?"
