OUT-BLOODY-STANDING! Your timing must have been absolutely perfect in catching the 12 hour flowers.
Perfect lighting, focus, DoF, POV, and the added treatment makes it as though one can reach out and touch it!

Very Very well Done!

Hello Jeffrey: Gee, I hope I live long enough to see you get really excited. I adore your exuberance!
You could really start something at Better Photo and maybe learn some new words while you are at it, you must promise that you will email me often and cheer me up.
Thank you for your wonderful tribute to my photograph, you have made my day. My best to you, photo friend, Merna
