This wilted flower is alive with color and form, just as bright, just as beautiful as when it first bloomed.

  Gorgeous to look at, Dan! Such fine clarity, and the look of the petals suggests a swaying hula skirt (except in very vivid orange)!

  Must be a great comfort for the wilted flower knowing that it was preserved in such a beautiful shot. Love the waving petals and their bright color. Great eyes, Dan!

  Marvelous macro photograph and presentation, Dan, I love the colors, the composition and the dark bg really sets this apart. The flower looks like its twisting gently in a breeze. Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan

  Wow, Dan, at the bottom of this long thread of compliments I think I'll add mine!! This is beautiful in every way. Love the dark bg, the vivid color in the bloom, and the perspective of it hanging down! And I agree with Allan's comment about it looks like it's being gently moved by the wind! Just a gorgeous shot and like Ellen, I could see this in a gallery very easily!
