Thanks again CJ :)
I fell for the softness of the colors and textures of this flower!

Lovely little blossoms Cat, and they stand out nicely against the magenta bracts (?) of the plant. I like the lighting and the shallow DOF here too. CJ

Thanks Neo, I am so glad that you like it, that's all that counts for me. If it gets any votes, it will be an added bonus :)

I like it. I'm jealous my macros don't come out nearly this good. The purple leaves and yellow pollen are color enough for me. It qualifies for the challenge; ultimately the voters can choose if it is vivid.

Thanks Brent, Julie and COAmature! I am so gald that you liked it. Most of the area in this shot is out of DOF, except for a small portion. Also I did not push the color much on this one as it would have affected the subtle yellow of the pollen and I would have lost the textures in the magenta too. I am wondering if this would be considered "vivid" enough for this challenge or not, as most of the shots here are super saturated. But I liked the shot so much that I wanted to post it any way. We'll see what the host has to say... I am OK if this one qualifies for pending.

What a great job of utilizing that strong light you did. Sharp as can be too. -COAmature

How lovely Cat. We need to be reminded to look more closely at the detail of beautiful flowers. Julie
