  Many thanks Joyce and Carol, for your comments. It was a difficult photo to do justice to, the terrain was rugged and I was trying to give the impression of a mass of flowering native plants, yet still maintain detail in the main subject.

  Beautiful flowers John ~ it's amazing how nature can manage to pull something beautiful from devastation, isn't it?

  Thank you for commenting Susan. Last summer there wasn't a single bloom in this area, nature is waiting for the next fire to start the process of regeneration all over again.

  Love the color and detail of this image John, but especially the way you have repeated the color to give the image depth. Your hiding these excellent images way in the back is yielding great returns for me.
