What a neat view! It almost looks like some exotic musical instrument!

Bill - Marvellous and what an original take on this BOP Flower !!. Are you still serving the Appetizers or are we down to the Main Course now

Like Eirini, I immediately thought of Violin when I saw this.

I really like the perspective here Bill. You've found a different view of the bloom.

Wow...this is amazing the detail shown...and the way this grows like a spear thrusting outward. God is creative...!

Wonderful abstract Bill, I like how the flower supplies the base. Well seen, composed and presented.

Love this, Bill - incredibly good ! Very apt title for a wonderful presentation of the structure of the flower right at its heart. Can't recall such an original and beautiful image of the bop.

Wow! You just keep outdoing yourself with these Bird of Paradise flower images, Bill! Great comp, light, and color. I do love these flowers, and wish I could see them here besides in the Botanic Gardens.
