Painted by the Sun

Just stunning. Really. One of those that makes you go ahhhhhhhh, lovely.

Very nice macro, Paula.

Beautiful light use as it highlights the form and details of the flower.

Pulok: thank you lots.

 

Colin, first time I have noticed this flower; I think th esun gave it that sense of life you name. Thanks.

 

Ken, lol, no, I didn't. Guess all the sepia suggestions you have received on your latest have had their effect :-)

 

Manuel, thanks. Glad if I could be of help.

 

Tony, Alec, Francesco,Mark, Alix, thank you so much.

 

Leann, thank you for the name of the flower. Double discovery shooting this. Thank you so much.

 

Maria, Kim ( I'll clone that spot out), Regina, Igor, Merni, thanks. so glad this flower had the same impact on me and you, too.

 

 

 

A very brightly illuminated flower under almost dark background, the source of light is not very important. Colours and details are very attractive. Congratulations!

Beautiful image. But the tiny colored spot on the background is causing distraction.

Dilip, Santosh, thanks a lot. Santosh, yes the spot will be removed.

The sun loves flowers and flowers like the sun, don't they?

BEautifully captured...Good job on catching the right light in miday sun.

Bellissima la luce centrale ed i colori. Brava.

Manolis, Jay, Gianluca, thanks, glad to see you in this thread.

RE, Alex, thanks.

bellissima, luce e colori... e foto...

ciao

Interesting lighting & your caption is just perfect for the image .

Dear Paula, last but not least.

Here is my appreciation for this picture.

I don't know why but I've skipped this photo more than once. I was wrong because as soon as opened from the thumbnail the picture exploded in a beauty unexpected.

 

Congrats Fabio

Ottavio, Chips, Fabio, as said elsewhere, I am at my first attempts at macros, so particularly grateful for the comments I am receiving. Thank you.
