You should have a pretty skillful eye to catch this view- Great DOF, light managing and composition- Thanks for sharing, Fabio

Like this a lot, Lorna ! Don't recall seeing just the tip of an hibiscus centre and the colour works really well with the leafy cram. Nice abstract.

That glowing yellow center is stunning and the minimalist background works very well. Lovely image.
