What a nice tree to have as a national tree, Ricardo. I know them well. This is a great composition. I tried the same a week ago but could not get a suitable composition like this. Very well seen and taken.

Judging by the pistil, it seems like someone is giving you the finger, perhaps meant for a neighbouring country (forgive my impertinent thoughts but I tought it was funny, am I the only one that sees that)? Interesting cheeky flower!

Its great to see another South American flower. Great detail on the main shot and the workshop extras are a very good addition. I think its always useful to see the plant as a whole as well as the detail of the flower and or fruit. Well done.

Ricardo, Well I guess it's time to post some of my flower shots & enter the competition! Great compostion & detail especially on the stamen itself. The reds seem to be saturated perfectly. Well done - Again!!

Me quito el sombrero, amigo. Aparte de ser unas fotos muy bonitas, de conocer la flor nacional argentina y de disfrutar con tus notas, nos regalas dos fotos adicionales que completan esta publicación de forma inmejorable. Muchas gracias por tu esfuerzo, espero que el mio aunque modesto lo lo compense de alguna manera.

Absolutely wonderful colours Ricardo. The dof is spot on and the cropping/composition is very good. Thanks for a very educational note.

Ricardo, onde você consegue informação para escrever notas tão completas e interessantes?

Quando vi a foto pequena, pensei a princípio que se tratasse de uma aranha na flor. Não é o caso.

Gostei muito das cores e da sombra da for em si mesma.

Como sempre, Ricardo, um belo trabalho.

Hi Ricardo

belle macro de cette fleur très originale. Il s'agit d'une fleur apparue à l'état sauvage ?

Hi Ricardo,
Well captured of your National Flower. Marvelous shades of red in this well composed picture. Also great sharpness and exposure. You did justice to this delicate and beautiful flower.
