Metallic Pink

Of the spring wildflowers I've seen so far, nothing matches the metallic pink of the Mountain ball cactus. Haven't found a lot of them just yet, so I had to settle on this one that wasn't very big.
Still don't think I did the coloration justice.

If you think you haven't done it justice now, just try printing it! I have a picture of a fishhook cactus that's just a bit deeper in color than your average mountain ball cactus; I'd love to print it, but it comes out looking horrible no matter what I try.

This is a great shot; good focal depth, nice and sharp, and the flower dominates the image better than anything I've ever managed with this species.

Thanks for the comment Les. Yea, I was thinking along the same lines as you in regards to printing. Haven't tried this exact image, but my experience tells me magenta-pink is going to be a potential struggle to print properly. That said, this may be the best kind of image to print on metallic paper.

This is just superb, Ken! You captured the flower and the cactus perfectly.
I think a metallic print might be a good idea, but print it you must.
