Nice but the color seems off - lots of magenta (red) color even where it shouldn't be.

Thanks for your comments. This was shot through many other flowers, which gives it a color cast, but also a soft effect.

Yep, awesome shot, Richard! Wow! I hope this is over in Flora, too, but then you'd probably walk off with the EP! The bg looks like a velvet drape, that's what kills me. Too cool. :jump:

I like the contrasting softness of the background and stem to the sharp detail of the flower--nice use of DOF. Shooting through the other flowers really imparted an ethereal effect and color variation that I like. Great shot.

It's the mood this one creates that counts, Richard. I'm all over it, simple yet very effective. Dang well done too I might add.

Wouldn't change a thing with this image! Excellent as posted.
