Your treatment of light and color here are FABULOUS!!!!!!!!, Mary.
Brilliant image.
I LOVE the golden hues and the touch of mystery created by the light coming from the flower in a dark environment.
And it's sure is a gorgeous flower. #10677718

I don't think I have seen that kind of succulent Mary. Growing some on the patio for the first time. Now is the flower a part of the succulent or is it a add on?
Either way, it makes for a gorgeous picture. The composing, the pov, the tones are all beautiful. Love the look dear friend. Have a fantastic day and then have one each day after. #10683835

Thanks, as always, for your friendly words, Frank. The split rock is indeed a succulent, growing in a neighbor's yard. It happened to have this bright bloom when I passed his house one late afternoon. The sun did the rest. #10684368
