This is a beauty Keith. The stamen stands out against the background and the colors are brilliant.

Keith: As I view this I'm looking out my kitchen window at exactly the same flower. Might have to go out and shoot it. Thanks for the inspiration and for a beautiful shot. >=))>

This has broke the WOW meter in my opinion! If there is anything I could change, it might be to eliminate the slight detail in the BG, but who's looking at that anyway? Your comp is beautiful, details are spetacular and the colors are delicious! 10+ in my eyes. :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

The intracate detail that you've captured really accentuates the wonderful color and placement in the composition. Well done!

Passion Flower has to be one of the most photogenic flowers and your photo amply demonstrates why.
