Thanks Tom:-) Just a burn in set on shadows for the background & some contrast to make the flower go pop:-)

These flamboyant flora are normally impossible to photograph but I think you've got it. Really pops even with or because of the flat light. Even knowing that you probably didn't, the bg looks desat. Must have been deep shadows. -tv

My favorite plant/flower of all time. We are deprived of these guys in Colorado thanks to our dry climate and cool winters. -Doug

Thanks Techo:-) We call this flower the Bird of Paradise. I had a nicer profile of this flower but the wall was the background that maybe didn't look as nice as this one.

Great profile on that flower (has the shape of an exoctic bird). The muted colors of the background really make its colors pop.

Beautiful colors, Rod. The blues and oranges almost glow...and of course they're complementary colors. Well done.
