While searching for animals and enjoying the Chinese culture, I also keetp my eyes open for the flora in China. This Impatiens was growing in a beautiful Gorge close to a Panda breeding centre we visited before.

What an elegant & unusual looking flower! I love the green & brown tones. I love the simplicity of the lone flower against the beautifully mottled BG. Excellent portrait!

I like the way the flower stands out from the dark background. Nice image.

Beautifully composed, Ellen, with lovely, subtle tones throughout ! I just find the white of the flower a touch strong, otherwise love this.
