Brilliant color, beautiful shape and nice light. Had to take a shot at capturing it.

Nikon D800 1/125 sec @ f/8 ISO 400.

Your comments are welcome and appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to look.

Striking colour on the black bg, Sanjay, and an excellent rendering of the petal textures, with a nice play of light and shade. A very slight nit would be for the tip of the L petal also to be sharp. Lovely whatever !

This is wonderfully striking, Sanjay with the backlighting letting the structure of the blooms be the star. This looks very good with the black background.

Sweet image, Sanjay. Lovely textures in the petals and the lighting is wonderful.

Well done.

This is awesome. The backlighting really makes the color pop. Just wondering, with the dark background, why you didn't go for a little more dof.

Beauty, Sanjay. I had the same thought or question as Michael about the the somewhat shallow dof given the black bg, but still very nice as is.
