Ola Raimundo,
What a charming form... The flower stands out very well against the dark background. Well composed and exposed. TFS
Best wishes,
Selen
Hallo Raimundo
I do not have time to leave proper critique; I do however want to tell you this is an unusual but beautiful flower with not so familiar shape and details. The combinations of maroon, red, brown, yellow and off-white is a lovely match and displays well on the image. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.
Anna
Belíssima!!
