These flowers are fun and interesting to view in the wild. I like their design and the beautiful colors. Good job isolating this one against a beautiful background. Nice details in the flower and, of course, love the dew drops! :smile:

The water droplets really add to the image. Fine composition and the background works very well.

A lovely shot of this very attractive little flower. Much enhanced by the glowing background and the well captured droplets.

Love the lighting and dew on this one ,it really helps emphasize and pull the flower and stem off the BG !
