Backside
Oftentimes, the backside of a flower is just as pretty as the "normal" front view. In this case, the hibiscus flower was backlit by the morning sun. The yellow and red colors of the bloom were very subdued and looked nice at the end of the green stem. This was shot with a 100mm macro lens.
