Paul,

This is a good picture. I like the combination if the brown BG and the yellow and orange aloe flowers. It is warm colours. The bird is looking at you which is good, and the lighting was good. Great composition, focus and DOF, thanks for sharing this.

These aloe's makes very beutiful BG's. Nice capture of this "botter-boudjies" as Callie calls them.
