Thanks for posting David, it looks really good with the lighting from beneath and that background. Must look out for some of these to photograph at some point :wavey:

One of my favourite flowers and an excellent image David.

There seems to be some type of artefact off the bottom left of the left hand petal, probably due to the compression.

Have fun at Formby.
