version....comments welcome...and appreciated...

Elegante con buen color. Saludos

Thankyou for your kind comment....and for your visit Gallego....

I have taken the same in this mornig. I had it a one year in my garden, but a strong vinter killed her. It is much better than your mask. ed

Nice POV and color. Regards.

Fabulous shot of a spectacular flower Gail! I can imagine some photogs becoming 'passionate' about photographing these blooms.

BTW... Very Creative Framing!

Incredible presentation of this really beautiful flower, Gail. Great work, my friend. Regards, Lawrence.

Great presentation Gail. I like the way you possitioned the flower and as always a great exposure. Best wishes-Jim

Gail...Thank you for your recent in depth response! This is an extremely lovely macro with great color,detail and dof...Marjorie

I do appreciate your work...so much...and for you to take the time to critique mine...well I'm honored and very appreciative....your work inspires me to 'reach' farther and explore many 'avenues' in this wonderful world of photography...sincere thanks, Gail

Is it not wonderful how nature can create something as intricate and beautiful as this! well done and nice capture. Rated.

thanks very much for your kind words....I truly agree...you look at this flower and it just about 'blows your mind'..like 'the stamen' Looks like a weapon from some 'outer spacey thingy'........fantastic creation.....and people wonder if there is a 'greater plan? And then I get wondering.....this is a flower we can easily access..just think what's out there in the rainforest etc. Thanks so much Tony....much appreciated.....Gail

I love this image and I do see you in it, your skill and talent all here my friend, wonderful job again, I am so impressed and so happy for you at the same time.
