The Azalea in our front yard waited for us to return from the mountains to bloom. How lucky is that?

Love the color, the detail and the central bloom Robert. I am having a problem with the anthers in the bg in that they draw my eye a bit and seem a little distracting to me. I don't know how else you could have done the shot though, since I don't know what else was there. I like the image as posted.

I too find a few of the oof stamnes near the edge of the frame diverts my attention from the delicious play of color. Well seen Robert!

Bob: GREAT job on a flower I struggle with. Frame filling fantastic. Since the bush was so cooperative you ought to treat it to some nice pine needles. Wonderful image.>=))>
