Back lit at dawn by the warm beams of the sun that pull out the beautiful color of the Echinopsis.

I am always very glad for opinions and advices.

Gigi, the warm, inviting color and all of the sharp details are wonderful. I'm especially attracted to all the long skinny tedrils of the anthers, but also thoroughly enjoy exploring all of the rest of the flower. There seems to be a significant color shift (yellow to more orange) and a decrease in brightness in going from the smaller view to the larger version. I don't know if that was deliberate or not, but I slightly prefer the extra brightness of the smaller view.

The detail is excellent, the colors are beautiful, and the warm dawn backlighting makes this spectacular!

Incredible color and luminescence and your usual superb artistry, Gigi. Floral images don't get much better than this and it certainly fits the theme.

Gigi, this is, of course, exquisite. I don't think it could be done any better.

A really beautiful flower shot. Wonderful textures and flowing lines. Color transitions are superb. Well seen and well done.
