This passion flower looks to me like a "jelly fish" rising from the ocean depths.

Nice job getting the total flower in focus. I find these a challenge because of the depth and angles of its features. A beautiful flower shown at its best. Well done. :toast:

Perfect exposure for my tastes Bob. I particularly like the stem fading into darkness. The image is very aptly named. Beautiful...

Bob: We have a number of these in our garden so I appreciate the difficulty of getting a clean comp and POV. I especially like how you managed the BG which can often be pretty chaotic with these flowers. I also like how well you rendered the colors. 2+ thumbs up! >=))>
