Well not really a ruby begonoia but I really liked the title.

This picotee begonia was part of a large bed of begonias in Annapolis Historic Gardens.

Gorgeous flower and impressive image. Love the begonia and they are not always easy subjects to capture to their best advantage. You've done it here.

How fresh and bold! Great job feathering down the light along the edges...a smooth transition..subtle. Love the details and DOF in the center portion. HH...pretty good.

Bob, Superb Layers and Colors

- One of my favourite Begonias but they are not to be found at the Gardens this year. There is something very very striking about this photo

Bob:
Just fabulous. Like the colors and the lines along the petal edge. Nicely done.

A beautiful photo of a beautiful flower. The leaf, like an hand, grasps the bottom petal and anchor the subject to the frame. A splendid image for me, Bob.
Take care.
