Beautiful lighting, excellent exposure and a great background. I don't know of anything you could do to make that image any better. A superlative image.

It is just a mind game. The flower is really big and gives you a chance to play that game.
Thanks!

The flower was one among many on the tree. I just walked around seeking for "my" flower after work, late afternoon before sunset. People passing by probably thought I was nuts. Thanks for you kind word.

Wow great perspective, it almost looks like the middle of the flower is seperate from the rest of it.
