Very apt title - love it. Beautiful flower taken at a great angle - introducing that sense of mystery and 'shyness'. Very well composed - great piece of work as always. #264582

This is another of your floral gems, Sanjay, so perfect it seems painted, but we all know it's a truly well-captured photograph!! The colors are heavenly, and your title is sweetly appropriate. I wonder what plaque this will earn next month... #1479930
