very interesting subject. I love the texture poping off the background, the colors help it stand out,

IMO, the longer one looks at this photo, the more one appreciates it. At first, it looks like a wilting flower. In just a short time, you can see how easily the photo meets the challenge. The lighting is terrific in the way it seems to highlight the twisting petals. This is a great photo and I hope it does well.

Sweet shot, lovely oranges and browns and not your usual flower. Crisply sharpned, great DOF stunning black in the back really makes the flower pop. Great job well done 9
