Oh those beautiful colors -- background really looks good. I'm a bit bothered by the OOF flowers in the foreground -- maybe crop some off the bottom to minimize those OOF flowers?

Wonderful colors, Chuck, and a nice head turn.

Of course a tiny little bit more of a head turn would be ideal...but who's complaining with those colors? Nice work Charles.

An incredible subject and wonderful colors, Chuck. Love the wide-stanced pose. You've been getting some great shots from that trip.
