This photo of a hibiscus called " Fifth Dimension", was a finalist for International Garden Photographer of the Year @ Kew Gardens, UK. Unfortunately, it wasn't good enough to win, but I still like it.

I love the color gradient throughout the petal - quite spectacular.

Hi Michael,
I love the way my eye moves around in this image.
Good stuff.

Michael, I'm a bird/critter guy and feel a bit intimidated by my ignorance in the other "specialties" but just had to check this out because it reminds me SO much of the pectoral fin of some brightly colored fish. That brought me in, and then I admired it for what it truly is, a lovely and unique image.

One of my all time favourites from you, Mike. The other one of course is the Imperial Lily you posted using a wide angle lens with Blue Flowers in the background..

I see why this was a finalist. I've never seen a flower composed like this.
I like the colors and the water droplets help to set it off. Well done, Michael.
