Taken in a friend's yard, a reminder of warmer days as fall approaches. Does the composition work? Any comments or suggestions welcome.

Bright and just right, I wish I could see it on a light table though!

The composition works extremely well. The petal's curve acts as a great divider, and partially falls on the "rule of thirds" line.

The composition works very well. Maybe try one with a little less saturation for a different approach. Great Job.

Thanks for the comments! When I took these photos, the owner of the garden thought he had to move (city road coming through his property). We were trying to capture his yard on film. Fortunately they convinced the city to reroute the traffic.

Jayne,
This is gorgeous! I love the way the petal curves across the frame and the pink lily in the BG.
