What a beautiful shot! Wonderful colours and textures. And, yes, the flower is gorgeous. #4479

I agree, this is a great shot and deserves the recognition :) #6413

Thank you both for your comments. The "queen" was another classic catlaya and even more beautiful than this one - but the pictures I took if it didn't work as well as an exmple of the intent of the lesson so I chose this one instead. And I liked the velvet texture. #6414
