Thankyou for the welcome ~ I like it here
I am very proud of this shot ~ I was learning how to take close up shots that day and just saw the vividness of the flower ~ it looked perfect, nature's package of loveliness ♥

You are correct. The grey really makes the color pop. Excellent composition and focus.
