I believe I recognize these colors Bill.. Is this full opening now? Purple and green go splendidly with that rich orange.

Superb work Bill. Perfect dof and the bg is about as fine a support as a subject gets. I also like the comp of course. (smile)

Beautiful! I agree the DOF and BG are spot on. The subject is pretty nice too.
What a beautiful flower.

Wonderful detail and color, especially in that flower! The comp works for me as well.

Canna's were one of my Dad's favorite garden flowers. Both of your shots are great and the oof leaves in the background coordinate well color wise. The open flowers here have a nice flow, but as a "sharpness nut" I prefer the Potential Energy because the entire flower is sharp.

Well, they are just glorious when they open, aren't they? Man, do I like the background with this as well as the blooms!

Truly sensuous rendering, Bill ! The variations in tone throughout the petals are entrancing, and the whole image is beautifully composed on the perfect bg. I rather like this !!! ( smile )

A good composition of color and texture, Bill. I like the slight veins showing on the leaves as well, they add extra depth. Very pleasing.
