This photo was taken several weeks ago and I just thought I would share it.
It has been cropped by about 30%. Taken with a CANON Rebel XT, f/11, 1/400 sec, ISO-800, 70mm

Lovely play of shadows around the leaves, Don, though maybe the flower is a little bright. Nice idea to include the wood bg.

Don: Don't recall you posting here before so welcome to the finest Flora gallery on the planet. Tough light but you did well in spite of it. I would be tempted to crop down to just a little into the leaf above the flower. I don't mind the wood so much but the rusty rebar bugs me a little so I would like to make some of it go away. Something to consider when shooting in direct sun is the use of a polarizer to saturate the colors and reduce some of the glare off the leaves and petals. Polarizers are underutilized tools in flora photography IMO. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more. >=))>
