Desert Rose (View Larger)

I see these flowers in my neighborhood. usually in containers lining

walks and porches. They have a florescent quality, which is seen here,

that makes them very beautiful.

The colors are stunning and the water droplets are an extra visual treat.  Love the dof, it's perfect.  Is the yellow in the bg another flower or just an expired leaf from the same plant?

Best regards!

Thank you all for the kind words. The yellow is an old leaf and this one is pretty straight forward processing with nothing added but a little Gaussian Blur.I will post the original. I have found out that this flower is a Desert Rose.

It's amazing to me how a nice image can be transformed into a stunning image with some small adjustments and a vision.

Once again, I must say what a lovely visual treat this image truly is to my eyes.
