Beautifully backlit image - did you use a reflector on this? Compositionally I'd prefer some off the lhs. :toast:

Thanks for your comment Clive. Yes I neglected to say there was some reflection used.
I did thinking of cropping it, but I liked the little white cloud on the lhs,so I refrained.

The clouds and the backlighting are great but I'd prefer the flower positioned further to the left

I like the idea but I too would prefer a less centered composition.It has plenty of impact though.

A great idea and one that I am sure will be readily copied. Its a great take on flora photos and I think the use of back-lighting adds a real dimension to the shot. Play around with the crop and composition a bit though, I'm sure you can create something really bold and strong with this wonderfully colourful image . :toast: :cool:
