A circle in a square is always a good plan. I think bigger is better for this one. The detail in the central disk of this flower appeals to me.

I like the frazzled free-spirit look to this flower. :smile: The petals are wispy but anchored. . .and then there is the rebel petal coming through the middle. Always one in every crowd. :rolleyes: :biggrin: Beautiful colors and great lighting. I like your framing treatment too. Lovely entry for the challenge, Rick.

Very nice Rick, I especially like the odd petal pokin' its head up near center.
God Bless Texas :wavey:
