Another winner. The clarity and the vibrancy are outstanding. The way you've positioned these two flowers in the frame is also very effective. You're obviously having fun taking these flowers; it shows in what you've been posting. Keep up the wonderful work.

Absolutely beautiful. You certainly make the most of your visits to Longwood - I hope to get to Winterthur this weekend and see what is blooming over there....
