I was heading out to a wild area to look for spring wildflowers when at the end of my driveway I spotted this little jewel. A very lovely little wildflower. All comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated.

Cool shot Richard... almost abstract with the lack of sharp stem or anything supporting the bright color.

Very nice spring messenger. Nice colors on the braun BG. Well focused with properly blured BG. Well done Richard.

Clean isolation, Richard for this rather colorful little flower. I also like the hint of details in the background. Nice frame

Johnny Jump-ups are really neat and you've done a fine job of showing this one off. There's enough of the leaves and background to give context, but the focus (and emphasis) are cleanly on the bloom.
