Made this image (few weeks back) during a hike in nearby mountains.
After initially jumping onto it to make some close-up macro images, I backed off and found the BG rock to be offering some nice textures and tones.

Techs:
Nikon D90, 18-105
f/8, 1/80, ISO640, hand-held.

Views welcome.

A lovely shot, nice line carrying you through the shot and the patterns in the rock work well with the flowers.

Beautiful contrast in color and in the rock and plant. Lovely color as well.

Great contrast and color! I think you made an excellent choice of the placement of the flowers within the scene.

I like your choice to include the rocks - gives context and contrast. Beautiful soft light. Nicely done.

Balakumar,

Congrats for pulling back and recognizing the potential of the surrounding rock. This makes for a lovely and vibrant intimate nature portrait. I think perhaps equally suited for Flora, but by including more of the plants surroundings, this works well here too.

Very vibrant - I also really like the texture and detail of the rock. Nicely seen and captured.
