Arlene, Excellent floral photo capture with amazing details and clarity in this photo. Love the way you have captured the vibrant colors on the outside of the pedals of the green and dark red colors. Excellent details on the outside pedals also as you have managed to capture so clearly this amazing flower. Great job at blurring out the background to give the viewer the complete attention of looking at the main focus of this photo. Excellent floral photo, voted, google and FB promoted and congratulations on your Super Feature in the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery group

Just love this shot, Arlene, as I really love the floral heads partially opened, beyond bud, but not full floral, and they can be as charismatic and beautiful and either of the other. This one is very beautiful and striking with your superlative background! Love it! fave and vote
