Orange Flower 2

I love this flower (cosmos?) because its orange is so pure. This image works particularly well because of the background, almost as if some natural firworks are going on, very supportive of the flower

Thanks (belated) Ransford. I'm finally putting this up for critique, with altered levels.

Thanks for looking.

Very good use of the background, that keeps the natural feeling in the photo. Maybe a bit more sharpness in the flower itself ?

Ivan - thank you much for your comments - and yes, I agree with you on both issues (I love the background, and wish the flower itself was sharper).
