I took this as I was leaving my mother-in-laws house in Ohio to come back home to Florida. I saw it, and I was just compelled to take a picture of it. Its beautiful, and surrounded by nothing but GREEN, GREEN, & MORE GREEN! :o)

the flower itself is quite heavily exposed but is a very beautiful flower. The background does have a nice effect in terms of contrast. My only suggestion here is to try and correct the exposure but nevertheless a nice bright shot!
the time stamp distracts me but i believe you can turn it off in your camera. that would help a lot. and i think you should adjust the contrast too. :)
