Neat find, Rick, and very well presented. That one crazy petal is special. Yes this would fit very well next week and you're welcome to resubmit (as long as it doesn't get picked this week. :wink: I especially like the shadow thrown by that sneaky petal. The larger version looks the same size, but noticeably sharper and with a nice extra punch.

Anomalies are the spice of life. With different there would be no normal. Beautiful shot, Rick. :wavey:

Those errant petals certainly do get your attention despite the size of the rest of the flower, Rick! Nicely shot and a good choice for the challenge. It's also an excellent candidate for the next challenge "Nature Imperfect"!
